A Teachear's Prayer

I want to teach my students more than lessons in a book;

I want to teach them deeper things that people overlook,

The value of a rose in bloom its use and beauty,too;

A sense of curiosity to discover what is true;

How to think and how to choose the right above the wrong;

How to live and learn each day and grow up to be strong;

To teach them always how gain in wisdom and in grace;

so they will someday make the world a brighter, better place;

Let me be a friend and guide to give these minds a start;

Upon their way down life's long road then I'll have done my part.
