Any Little Boy’s Father
There are little eyes upon you And they’re watching night and day
There are little ears that quickly Take in everything you say.
There are little hands all eager To do Everything you do,
A boy who’s Dreaming of the day He’ll be just like you.
You’re the little fellow’s idol…The wisest of the wise.
In his mind About you No suspicions ever rise.
He believes in you devoutly. Holds all You say and do…
He will say and do In your way When he’s grown…Just like you.
There’s a wide-eyed little fellow who Believes you’re always right…
His ears are always open and He watches day and night.
You are setting an example In all you say and do
For the little boy who’s waiting To Grow up and be just like you.
This was one of my Dad's favorite poems.
