A TEACHERS PRAYER I wanted to teach my students how to live this life on earth To face the struggles and the strife and improve their worth. Not just the lessons 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’ve helped the world to grow in wisdom and in grace Then I’ve felt that I have won and I have filled my place. And so I ask your guidance, Lord, that I have done my part

For character and confidence and happiness of heart.
