Teach me to live Reach out for my hand I have so much to learn And understand. Teach me to love Teach me to be Show me the world So wonderful and free. Teach me to see To feel To hear To not be afraid To cast away fear. Teach me to live Give all I can give Show me the way And teach me to live.

Hi Julia, I really enjoyed the flow of the poem. Especially "Teach me...teach me...show me...2X and then ending with the opening "Teach me to live." I felt it could be a parent to a child. I also work with special need students, and it could be an overlooked child yearning for what their typical peers experience. Wonderful :)
