The Religious Teacher
Who speaks for the troubled person of today
How to get in touch with God and have their say.
Not the contents of their voice
Rather a way to relate for support of a choice.
As a child teach as a child or even more
Give what they need as an adult to open the door.
A teacher has a responsibility to lead the way
Not just to repeat what someone else did say.
To know how to establish a relationship with God
It does little good to find out; when we finally lie in the sod.
To know about the fruit of a vine
The plain facts about the image of bread and wine.
About others who spoke of truth and love
Did they also have a similar spirtual dove?
How to live a life to please God and reflect
God has no favor for a given human sect.
Place the presence of God in their mind
Show it is not difficult their God to find.
