A Little Child Follows Me

A careful soul I want to be;

A little child follows me.

I do not dare to go astray

For fear he'll go the selfsame way

I cannot once escape his eyes;

Whatever he sees me do, he tries;

Like me he says he's going to be --

That little child following me.

He thinks that I am good and fine;

Believes in every word of mine.

The bad in me he must not see--

That little child following me.

I must remember as I go,

Through Summer's rain and winter's snow,

I'm building for the years to be 

That little child following me.
