School Benediction

As we walk to school today;
May the glory of learning be upon us,
May we not encounter something bigger
Than our little eagle's eyes.
The spirit of encouragement shall abide in us,
Let the teacher' whip mean nothing to us
But a challange we need to learn and excel.

Bless and enlarge our knowledge;
May the grace of wisdom abide still
In us like the ancient king solomon,
And bless the chairs, we sit on;
The four corners of the classroom
Shall be our friend, none shall injure.

May every lesson taught be easy and appealing,
May it be seasoned from above to the teacher
Not to be the reasoning knowledge of our teacher,
But your reasoning and words from above.
May every head obtain and preserve every
Piece of information drop by.

So, bless this little classroom, oh God,
And exalt the school in your glory
And all that is within its care.
May the teachers find mercy in your sight,
As they Take care of us; so shall their children be taken care of.

With your tender loving care and favour,
Look after our parents who labour day and night
To see us through in this empty life of pains.
Lord, bless our founder and his family,
The trees and birds and the ants within;
For without them, school life would seem
Meaningless and troublesome.
