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.
