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