A sweet gesture

The boy who wasn't bright as the others
Lacked the focus he needed
Preferred to talk or call
His peers as he wishes

The boy who can achieve better
As the key should be guidance
Coming to the end of second week
'Cikgu, saya buat ni untuk cikgu' (Teacher, I did this for you)

Ten neatly folded stars
Pretty and colourful
Passed from his hands to mine
A first gift so far this year

With a brink of hope
To shine those stars
That'll be the day
When he has shaped himself
To be a better person

It's nice when you're remembered
When you've tapped somewhere in their hearts
Without realising, that's the beauty
Beauty of shaping hearts
Priceless valuables...
