INFLUENCE
...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 younger child who's dreaming
Of the day they'll be like you.
You're a little child's idol;
You're the wisest of the wise.
In their little mind about you,
No suspicions ever rise.
They believe in you devoutly,
And hold all you say and do,
They want to say and do, in your way
When they're grown-up like you.
There's a wide-eyed little person,
Who believes you're always right,
And their ears are always open,
And they watch you day and night.
You are setting an example
Everyday in all you do,
For the little one who's hoping
To grow up to be like you.
