The Little Chap Who Follows Me!
The Little Chap Who Follows Me!
Author: Unknown
A careful man I want to be;
A little fellow follows me.
I do not dare to go astray
For fear he'll go the self same way.
I cannot once escape his eyes,
Whate'er he sees me do, he tries.
Like me he says he's going to be;
The little chap who follows me.
He thinks that I'm so very fine,
Believes in every word of mine.
The base in me he must not see;
The little chap who follows me.
I must remember as I go
Through summer's sun and winter's snow,
I'm building for the years to be;
The little chap who follows me.

Adam, this is excellent.
It is a sad reminder to me.
Fatherhood, inescapable leadership.

Great poem. If ever there was an inspiration to be the best I can be, it is that little chap (and chapette)!

Thanks guys. My grandfather and my father had this poem on their desk (my desk now) as I still do.
I read it all the time and thought I would share it.

I just found this group. I have this poem hanging on my bedroom wall, it was my fathers. he gave it to me a few years ago. It's good to be reminded that we have a huge responsibility in raising our children.
