Every time you praised me

You filled my heart with glee

Every time you nurtured the talent in me

So much faith and hard work you would see

But during a dark night

When I wasn’t all that right

You scolded me a lot

Leaving behind a lost mind and someone distraught

Even though you made me cry

I still didn’t stop to try

Whether you guide me or not

I’ll always remember what you taught.
