Poetry by Dang Phuoc Tan: The Silent Ferryman

(GLO)- The poem "The Silent Ferryman" by author Dang Phuoc Tan is a profound tribute to the silent teachers, with their hair turning gray over the years and the ferry trips that never expect to be named...

The teacher quietly stands by the river of knowledge

Carrying many seasons of early sunshine and late rain

The old oars still murmur their breath

Leading people through the old dream harbor.

White powder falls like dew on an old afternoon

The dark blackboard retains gentle eyes

Each letter turns into a small flower

The teacher gently sowed to brighten one's own life.

Each page is a season of sowing seeds

The teacher plowed deep into the land of faith.

Shoulders heavy with silent time

His voice is soft and warm like dawn.

How many ferries have crossed without looking back

Only the river still has the teacher's shadow flowing silently

Silver hair like the tide patiently rises

Ripples in us of distant sunlight.

The teacher does not count the efforts he has made.

Just smile and watch the generation grow up

Amidst the vicissitudes of life, teachers are like bright stars.

Though hidden from the sky… light still shines everywhere.

The teacher quietly brought many small rivers

Returning to the shore of life with brilliant dawn colors

Though the dust of chalk covers the pages of time

The grace of a good teacher… is always engraved in my heart and will never fade.
