For all the Mothers of Little Boys....


The Little Chap that Follows Me

A careful parent I want to be
A little man follows me.


I do not dare go astray
For fear he'll go the self-same way.


I cannot once escape his eyes
Whatever he sees me do, he tries.


Like me, he says he's going to be
The little chap that follows me.


He thinks that I am good and fine
Believes in every word of mine.


The bad in me, he must not see
My life to him must example be.


I must remember as I go
Through summer's sun and winter's snow.


I'm building for the years to be
For that little chap that follows me.
