Teachers Prayer
I want to teach my students how to live this life
on earth, to face its struggles and its strife
and 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 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.
Amen.
