I want to teach
my students more
than lessons in a book;
I want to teach them
deeper things
that people overlook-
The value of
a rose in bloom
its use and beauty, too;
A sense of curiosity
to discover
what is true;
How to think
and how to choose
the right above the wrong;
How to live
and learn each day
and grow up to be strong;
To teach them always
how to gain
in wisdom and in grace;
So they will someday
make the world
a brighter, better place.
Let me be
a friend and guide
to give these minds a start;
Upon their way
down life's long road
then I'll have done my part.
