Father’s Day – something to think about

• Father’s Day – something to think about

This coming Sunday is the day set aside as “Father’s Day.” The day we honor our earthly fathers. With that in mind, I thought the following poem was appropriate. I don’t know who wrote it, I am assuming it was written by that prolific author known as “anonymous.”

I go through life most carefully, For a little fellow follows me.

I do not dare to go astray, For fear he’ll go the self-same way.

Not once can I escape his eyes, What’er he sees me do, he tries.

And says like me he’s going to be.

That little chap who follows me.

He thinks that I am good and fine, Believes in every word of mine.

He must not se the bad in me, That little chap who follows me.

I must remember as I go, Through summer sun and winter snow I’m building for the years to be, That little chap who follows me.

It’s something to think about.
