THEY ARE LIVING STILL! 
Dedicated teachers, never, never die! 
They live in their students, that's why! 
They were potters who moulded human clay, 
While teaching boys and girls day by day. 
They are absent in body, but in spirit near. 
Yes, their spirits of devotion are still here! 
They lived beautiful lives, filled with truth, 
While performing the task of training youth! 
Dedicated workers in the teaching field, 
Can't ever die while their students live! 
They live in their speech, in voices high, 
In their thoughts and deeds, that never die! 
Thev live in the smiles of students' gay, 
In good behavior both night and day! 
They are not dead as some have thought; 
But very much alive in those they taught! 
They have gone to the Master to get their pay, 
For teaching our youth in the right way! 
Yes, God called them home at His own will, 
For a job well done in the teaching field!
