O Captain, my Captain
Such powerful words from a teacher
Inspired his students like he was a preacher
He didn’t just teach from a textbook, but he taught from his heart
He pushed his students to do the unordinary, to be creative, to turn their passion into art
A great teacher is one who is passionate about teaching others
They may not play the role as a father or mother
But they do play a key role in your life
That they teach us how to love learning like it’s our husband or wife
That they genuinely care that you succeed
To turn you from a student to someone who leads
To know that they had a small part towards your success
That they took their time to invest
That they weren’t just a small part but a big part of our life
Without them we wouldn’t be where we are today
Yet they still do this without complaints day by day
Not for the school but for you
So I would like to take the time to thank you for being my teacher
My inspiration, my role models, the reason for my future
So I stand up on my desk and recite
O Captain, my Captain
