Song to Celia - Thinking, Writing, Sharing, Learning

  Song to Celia

Drink to me only with thine eyes,
     And I will pledge with mine;
Or leave a kiss but in the cup,
     And I’ll not look for wine.
The thirst that from the soul doth rise
     Doth ask a drink divine
But might I of Jove’s nectar sup,
     I would not change for thine.
 
I sent thee late a rosy wreath,
     Not so much honoring thee
As giving it a hope that there
     It could not withered be;
But thou thereon didst only breathe
     And sent it back to me;
Since when it grows, and smells, I swear,
     Not of itself, but thee.

I always believed that I became a teacher not because I chose it. It was God's gift to me. I am just grateful because every time I am doubting whether I doing things right for my student, God would tell me I am through my dearest students. He is always there sustaining me until now. I have achieved the recognitions and appreciations because God made me the kind of teacher that I am today. Allow me to celebrate God's gift to me with all of you. I humbly ask you to give me this pleasure to share this heartwarming message to me from Edgar Castor, my Grade 9 student. | | Message of Appreciation: Ma'am Joy || 7th of October, Teachers' Day Celebration
