Teacher Prayer - an art work by T Newfields

Teacher Prayer

Remove my preconceptions about teaching
so students can actually learn

Chisel away this ego
so advice will be heeded & not spurned

Blast away my indifference
so I'll have enough energy to care

Let me discover Thy Spark in each person
& treat all in ways that are fair

Let me not shun difficulties
but recognise them as invitations to learn

Finally, help me keep perspective
& remember the core lessons
are not measured by our narrow terms
