They put their confidence in me
Their future in my hands
I hope I do not let them down
I hope they understand

Just how much I love them all
How much I want to teach
I will not leave anyone behind
Each one I vow to reach

I hope that I can help them all
Be all that they can be
I hope that every day they’ll see
That I have God in me

And when my time with them is done
I pray that when they leave
That I will mean as much to them
As they will have meant to me
