Lonely working night

The shining flash in the corner,
The silence in the hallway.
There hid a person that works hard forever.

He never rests.
He never lazy.
He tried his best to make everything nice,
Even though everybody left him alone.

The people had left,
The sun had gone.
He concentrated on his work,
Even when everything goes wrong.

I hid at the corner,
Sketching everything in my book,
And saluting his hard work that no one would have known.
Then back to the world I belong to,
Silently told him: You would never walk alone.

For my Physics teacher Mr. Gould.

Comments from the author:
This poem was inspired at Mandarin night. I stayed at school till 5:30pm and didn’t expect he would be in school. At that time I was walking back to school from my friend’s house where near my school and what I saw was he was still at school in a hard working mode……
Since then, I’ll try my best to not forget to finish his homework on time. (But the fact was I didn’t hand out his homework next day because I didn’t have time to get the homework done.)
