God Bless the Children I Have Loved

God bless the children in my care,
And then as they pass everywhere
Across the seas, beyond my reach
God bless the children who I teach.
May they recall the lessons learned
When they were young, when they were small,
And may those lessons yet return
To help them now when they are tall,
When life gets hard to face and too
When love is lost and friends are few.
God bless the children I have known;
God bless the seeds which I have sown.
