a poem for parents

this poem, found at the back of my kindy portfolio
mummy read whilst walking home with callum on her back
she was very very moved and just had to share it with you:

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 everything you do
And a little child who's dreaming of the day he'll be like you.
You're the little person's idol, you're the wisest of the wise
In his little mind about you, no suspicions ever arise
He believes in you devoutly, holds all that you say and do
He will say and do in your way, when he's quite grown up like you.
There's a wide-eyed little person who believes you're always right
And his eyes are always open, and he watches day and night
You are setting an example every day, in all the things you do
For the little one who's waiting to grow up just like you.
