A Teacher's Prayer

 I want to teach my students how to live this life on earth
To face it;s struggles and its strife and improve their worth
Not just the lesson in a book or how rivers flow
But to choose the proper path whereever 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 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 of my heart.....
