A"Prayer"for"Teachers"and"
Parents
I"want"to"teach"my"students"how
To"live"this"life"on"earth
To"face"its"struggles"and"its"strife
And"to"improve"their"worth
Not"just"the"lesson"in"a"book
Or"how"the"rivers"ow

A"Prayer"for"Teachers"and"
Parents
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"the"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"lled"my"place

A"Prayer"for"Teachers"and"
Parents
And"so"I"ask"Your"guidance,"
God
That"I"may"do"my"part
For"character"and"condence
And"happiness"of"Heart.
Amen
