Teaching Year 12

Is a privilege

It can also be stressful

Making sure you’re giving

the right advice

knowing when to encourage

and when to push.

It takes a different perspective

When you’re teaching

About religion

Am I doing it right?

Is this true to the tradition?

Does it make sense?

How can I help them get it

Without seeming

Like I’m pushing it down their throat?

Especially

Since this is not just

An academic exercise for me.

I believe to the core

Of my being

That faith gives life.

Self-sacrificing love

Means we don’t focus on ourselves

And when we each do this

Wondrous things occur.

We are made by love

For love

Wishing them peace and all good

Always
