INFLUENCE

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 that all you say and do,

He will say and do, in your way

When he’s a grown-up 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.
