Reflections From Our Influence

You need to be careful with what you say and do...
Because there are some little people who want to
be just like you.

You can not escape the focus of their eyes...
Whatever they see you do, they're going to try.

Just like us they want to be...
That's the little ones who follow you and me.

We must remember no matter what we do or where we go...
Our impact upon these lives is going to show.

We are investing in the future to be...
Because these little ones are going to follow you and me.

So please don't go astray...
Because you may influence them to go the same way.
