Teacher’s Prayer
I want to teach my students how
To live this life on earth,
To face its struggles and its strife
And realize their worth.
Not just the lessons in the books
Or how the rivers flow,
But how to choose the proper path
Wherever they may go.
To understand eternal Truth
And know 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.
I humbly ask Your guidance, Lord,
To help me do my part
To build character and confidence
And happiness and heart.
