To Every Parent

There are little eyes upon you,

And they are 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 child who's dreaming of

The Day he'll be like you.

You're the little child'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 all you say and do;

He will say and do in your way when

He's grown up to be like you.

There's a wide eyed little child who

Believes you're always right,

And his ears are always open,

And he watches day and night.

You are setting an example

Everyday in all you do

For the little child who's waiting

To grow up to be like you.
