Edgar Guest - A Father`s Thought
Work rating: Low

They say the little fellow looks like me, 
But I`m hoping he`ll be better than I`ve been, 
And I`m hoping and I`m planning that he`ll see 
A little more of sunshine than I`ve seen. 
Oh, I sit and watch him there, 
Smiling at me from his chair, 
And I`m dreaming of the days that are to be; 
And I`m hoping he`ll attain 
All the goals I couldn`t gain 
In the years when he is treading after me.

He`s exactly like his father, so I`m told,
But I`m hoping he will be a better man; 
On what I may gain of glory or of gold
I have ceased to give my effort or to plan.
Through the boy who looks like me
I`ve another chance to be 
A credit to myself, and so I say
If I can but see him gain
What I never could attain, 
At the end, without regrets, I`ll pass away.
