Daddy, Do You Want Your Boy to Be Like You?

Author Unknown

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 anything 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 all you say and do;

He will say and do, in your way

   when he's grown up just like you.

There's a wide-eyed little fellow

   who believes you're always right;

And his eyes are always opened,

   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 just like you.
