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!
