A little poem

I wrote this poem at the end of a terrible day as a means of teaching a group of EFL students English, and at the same time, some moral values. For example, teamwork and respect in the classroom, and a love of being able to communicate to the world in English, and the benefits it brings.

A lesson is a prayer,
To listen and to hear,
To give respect and then to know
the English we love dear.

A lesson is a prayer,
no matter what you say.
We're all in this to-gether,
And learning day by day.

Each lesson takes us furthar
A present on the way.
We feel inside that big suprise
That only English makes.

To speak another language,
Is to know another way,
To smile inside that deep divide
that separates today.

A lesson is a prayer,
So let me wish for you,
A life of happy English learnt,
Right here in this dear school.
