JUST LIKE hisDAD
"Well, what are you going to be my boy,
When you have reached manhood's years;
A doctor, lawyer, or an actor great,
Moving throngs to laughter and tears?"
But he shook his head as he gave reply
In a serious way he had:
" I don't think I'd care to be any of them;
I want to be like my Dad!"
He wants to be like his Dad;You mean,
Did you ever think, as you pause,
that the boy who watches your every move
Is building a set of laws?
He's moulding a life you're the model for,
And Whether it's good or bad
Depends on the example set
To the boy who'd be like his Dad.
It's a job that none but yourself can fill;
It's a charge you must answer for;
It's a duty to show him the road to tread
Ere he reaches his manhood's door.
It's a debt you owe for one of the greatest joys
On this old earth to be had;
This pleasure to have a boy to raise
who wants to be like his Dad!
