Walking in Daddy's footsteps

To Any Boy's Father
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 who's dreaming
Of the day he'll be like you.

You're the little fellows hero,
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.

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!
