Teacher's prayer
James J. Metcalf
| want to teach my students how
To live this life on earth,
To face its struggle 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 etemal truth,
And know the right from wrong,
And gather all the beauty of
A flower and a song.
For if | help the world to grow
In wisdom and in grace,
Then, | shall feel that | have won
And | have filed my place.
And so | ask my guidance, God
That | may do my par,
For character and confidence
And happiness of heart.
