A Teacher's Prayer
James J. Metcalfe
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 flow, 
But to choose the proper path, 
Wherever they may go.
To understand eternal truth, 
And know 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 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.
The AFTEA Executive Board with DepEd Undersecretary Atty. Revsee A. Escobedo
and Bohol Island State University President Dr. Anthony M. Penaso last March 2, 2024 in Woodside, New York City, USA.
