A Teacher Was Dying, But Still
He Was Cheerful
& Kind!!!
A teacher was dying, but still
he was cheerful and kind.
Students were gathering
around his deathbed.
– Ask. While I’m still here,
I can help you somehow.
And he was showered with questions… The teacher listened
to them and started crying.
– You ruined my feast, dear ones! Now I see that I was a bad mentor… Fine, I will try to fix it in the
last minutes of my life.
And he said the following:
– Every morning I would wake
up with a smile on my face.
I would meet the day, as though
it was the first and the last day
of my life and I would accept everything it offered me with gratitude. I was happy for every meeting with you, as though it was the first and the last meeting, and every time you would open to me
as a new world. I would pray as though it was my first and last prayer that God will hear from me
– it was necessary not to forget anything or anyone. I would work with pleasure and to exhaustion,
as though I would never have
to work again. I would look with
a smile of admiration at every creation of God, as though I saw them the first and the last time.
I always lived for that one day:
I had to live it right, as though
it was the only day of my life.
I longed for the meeting with
the Creator so much that I
did everything so I would
be worthy of meeting Him.
Looking back at my Way,
I look for mistakes – but
I can’t find them.
Now it’s your
turn to look.
