To the Principal with love

Two years ago when I started in this college.
Unsure and doubting the journey I had to acknowledge.
It began on the very first day when we had our conversation.
She walked in to give her piece of mind which needed a lot of concentration.

Apart from the formal assemblies and events, I did not really have an actual interaction.
I knew, though she did not talk much, she led the most intelligent discussions.
She spoke in her own style and with an aura incomparable.
The reason why I admired her was not so simply explainable.

She is indeed a beautiful soul with the humblest heart.
Always inspiring to dare with her utmost patience and care.
To shine amongst many and genuinely be rare.

She urges to take the road less travelled.
Like Robert Frost she envisions it can make a difference.
Yet not letting us overlook the power of prayers.
As she believes success and almighty go in coherence.

Within a short span, the initial year came to an end.
The second year awaited with surprises I could not comprehend.
Keeping aside her comfort, she chose the struggle and the strife.
Only so we could understand language across curriculum in different people’s lives.

It takes a special teacher to priortize children in the class.
To strive with continuous efforts in the world that moves so fast.
Ma’am, has shown immense love and patience.
Such that our minds and hearts have been etched.
Leaving traces of love, wisdom and gladness.
Which we earlier could not harness.
