Madam Marcelene Gomes Poem by Abdulrazak Aralimatti

Madam Marcelene Gomes

Rating: 5.0


When my self, apart roams,
My conscience recalls madam Marcelene Gomes.
My teacher at St. Bartholomew's school,
Who taught us the virtuous rule.
A fine and devoted teacher,
Humanity and spiritual preacher.
A woman of strict conduct,
Employing indecency to reject.
Always caring and advising,
Always motivating and inspiring.
Pious, mystic, modest and chaste,
Social, judicious, never in haste.
Her words, in the heart lie,
Her shout, an angel's cry.
Her anger, a prophet's rage,
Her looks, a saint's image.
Till today, in my severance,
My conscience, gives her reference.

Now a days teaching has become so commercialized that to find teachers like that is rare. I am touched by the words you describe your teacher. I wish every child finds a teacher, a mentor like that. beautiful!

Attachment of teacher and student is more pious than any relation of this world. A friend can deceive but a teacher is always merciful. For a long time we spend our time with teacher and some becomes much familiar that can not be forgotten. A humble gratitude to your teacher through this poem. She must be remembering you with showering blessing. Thanks for sharing..

Great tribute to beloved teacher.......We cannot repay our teachers who taught us morale lessons other than passing on their great messages forward. Well written poem, I liked it.
