Why God Made TeachersBy Kevin William Huf
f
When God created teachers, He gave us special friends
To help us understand His world And truly comprehend
The beauty and the wonder Of everything we see,
And become a better person With each discovery.
When God created teachers, He gave us special guides
To show us ways in which to grow So we can all decide
How to live and how to do What's right instead of wrong, To lead us so that we can lead
And learn how to be strong.
Why God created teachers, In His wisdom and His grace,
Was to help us learn to make our world A better, wiser place.
