PRAYER FOR GOD'S BLESSING ~ EVERY DAY ~ A 6 6 2 Sonnet

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

 

It was just one of thoses days LORD  

I think I should have stayed in bed !

Everything I did ~ was half done

Everything I said ~ came out wrong

Seemed to be in every one's way

LORD I really do need  your help !

 

I really do want to succeed 

I want my Students to like me

I want the Staff to respect me 

I want to be a good witness 

For you LORD !  To shine like MOSES

Make my workplace ~ a place of JOY

 

I need you LORD to lift me up 

And help me to SHINE on MONDAY !

 

Thanks for reading ~ comments welcome ~ Love BRIAN XOX

 

I really love my job ~ but I need GOD with me every day !

 

This poem is presented as a BLANK VERSE  6 6 2 SONNET

Each line is co-syllabic (iambic tetrameter) which gives it rhythm.

  • Comment from author about the poem: Teaching at any level is a very important Job ! It is enjoyable (especially Further education 16+) but it does have it stresses ~ especially for Primary & Secondary Teachers if the classes are too big and they haven't got the resources. Please pray for all our Teachers everywhere ~ from Nursery Teachers right up to the University Lecturers ~ they all need our support. Education is the key to success for all our Young People everywhere. They are the NEXT GENERATION ~ AMEN. Comments welcome ~ Love to All ~ BRIAN XOX

          I swing my feet out of bed and I pray to God . That way everyday starts out on a high note . Then right atter coffee I read a chapter or two of the Bible and a commentary and I feel no matter what I've made my day . I almost became a teacher but decided I didn't have the grit and guts and selfish sacrifice it takes to make a good teacher . And it pains me , gut wrenching it is , to see the cuts in funding for education . Because you then get rulers who know nothing proclaiming they and they alone can fix everything .

            Thanks FRIEND ~ I empathise with the start to your day. A Teacher's lot used to be a haoy one but ~ changes in the curriculum ~ cuts ~ Teen angst and an over-demanding OFSTED have taken a lot of joy and satisfaction out of the job. In my experience the 16+ Vocational Sector (FE/HE Colleges) is the best. We teach students who want to be in College ~ subjects they want to learn ! No discipline problems and fail-safe qualifications BTEC & GNVQ etc. WE DON'T NEED TRIDENT ~ THAT MONEY COULD BE RELEASED FOR EDUCATION AND THE NHS ~ BRIAN
