A TEACHER'S PRAYER

  I want to teach my students how ~
To live this life on earth ~
To face its struggles and its strife ~
And to improve their worth ~

Not just the lesson in a book ~
Or how the rivers flow ~
But how to choose the proper path ~
Wherever they may go ~

To understand eternal truth ~
And know the right from wrong ~
And gather all the beauty of ~
A flower and a song ~

For if I help the world to grow ~
In wisdom and in grace ~
Then I shall feel that I have won ~
And I have filled my place ~

And so I ask your guidance, God ~
That I may do my part ~
For character and confidence ~
And happiness of heart. ~
