Found this at the Old Schoolhouse in Oak Glen today.
Teacher's Prayer
I want to teach my students how
To live this life 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 know 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.
-James J. Melcalf
