If I Can Just Be...

1 If I can just spread my arms and embrace my students when they need help. If I can just see all the things that they do to remind them with love. 2 If I can just protect them from the fangs of danger and be their hero. If I can just be the solution to all weariness and cares they encounter. 3 If I can just read their minds and know what they need, what concerns them! If I can be a meaningful word that encourages them all the time. 4 If I can just be their dreams that can be easily reached and be fulfilled. If I can just be their footsteps that lead them always to the right path. 5 If I can just be their conscience that prevents them from doing unacceptable things. If I can just their tongue that speaks rightfully and uncorrupted. 6 If I can just be their cell phone that sends love messages rather than hate words. If I can just be the internet that diverts bad desires to an educative websites. 7 What else could be the effective tools I can just be in order for them to be better persons each day? I can just be their humble teacher to pray for them earnestly, to shield them all the time. I can just be their prayers!
