There's a wide-eyed little fellow...

2 years ago, a birthday gift came in the form of a book... the stories were lovely...
As i re-read the book this past week... i realized how personal & apt i felt for them... the meaning & words resonate in my heart... the poems took my breath away..

~

There are little eyes upon you,

And they're watching night & 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

Everyday in all you do,

For the little boy who's waiting

To grow up to be like you.

isn't it beautiful if we're all like the wide-eyed little fellow... following our heavenly Father...
