Poem August 12, 1972 Issue

A SUNDAY SCHOOL TEACHER'S PRAYER

Barbara G. Pope

My motive in teaching
is reaching—

reaching
the lonely thought,
the hungry, the thirsty,
the frightened—

the stubborn thought,
the bored, the dull,
and the enlightened.

Dear Father,
teach me
to teach
... to reach.

Barbara G. Pope
