I Hope You Don't Forget This

Little Fellow

by Shirley Mitton

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 every thing 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.

There’s a wide-eyed little fellow

Who believes you’re always right;

And his ears are always open

As he watches day and night.

You are setting an example

Every day in all you do

For a little boy who’s waiting

To grow up to be like you.

I Hope You Don’t Forget This
