His Example

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.

In his little mind about you no suspicions ever rise;

He believes in you devoutly, holds that all you say and do
