Daily Prayer For a Teacher
I want to teach my students how to live 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 learn 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 in 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.
