Be an Example

Be an Example

There are little eyes upon you, and

They’re watching night and day;

There are little ears that listen to every

Word you say.

There are little hands all eager to do the

Things you do; and a little boy who’s

Dreaming of the day he’ll be like you.

You’re the little fellow’s Idol, you’re the wisest

Of the wise; in his little mind about

You, no suspicions ever rise.

He believes in you devoutly, holds to all

You say and do, he will do and say

Your way; when he’s grown up like you.

You are setting an example every day in

All you say and do, for the little boy who’s

Waiting to grow up to be like you.
