Edgar Guest - His Example
Work rating: Low

There are little eyes upon you, and they`re watching night and day;
There are little ears that quickly take in every word you say;
There are little hands all eager to do everything you do,
And a little boy that`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 that all you say and do
He will say and do in your way when he`s grown up just like you.

Oh, it sometimes makes me shudder when I hear my boy repeat
Some careless phrase I`ve uttered in the language of the street;
And it sets my heart to grieving when some little fault I see
And I know beyond all doubting that he picked it up from me.

There`s a wide-eyed little fellow who believes you`re always right,
And his ears are always open and he watches day and night;
You are setting an example every day in all you do
For the little boy who`s waiting to grow up to be like you.
