Our Precious Children

There are little eyes upon you
and they're watching
night and day.
There are little ears that
quickly take in every word
that you say.
There are little hands all eager
to do anything
you do.
and little children dreaming
of they day they'll
be like you.
You're the little children's idol
you're the wisest
of the wise.
In their little minds
about you non suspicions
ever rise.
They believe in you devoutly,
and all you say and do:
they will say and do
in your way when they're
grown up just like you.
There's a wide eyed little
student who believes
you're always right;
and their eyes are always opened
and they watch you
day and night.
You are setting an example
every day in all you do;
for the little child who's waiting
to grow up and be like you.
