Teach me how to write my name,
And in this world I'll stake a claim.
Teach me how to walk and run,
Then sit and watch what you've begun.
Teach me how to say my words,
And then listen to what I've heard.
Teach me how to understand,
And gather knowledge the best I can.
Teach me how to do my best,
But life is not a memory test.
So teach me how to love my friends,
To forgive, forget, and make amends.
Teach me how to be kind, brave and wise,
Whatever occasion that may rise.
Teach me how to cope with goodbyes,
Of family, friends and clear blue skies.
Teach me how to carry on,
When life is hard and days are long.
Teach me how to value the time,
Not to watch it slip and slide on by.
This, teacher, is what you must give,
But above all teach me how to live.
