Those Little Ones

A careful father we fathers need to be...
Because there are little ones following after you and me.

Help us Lord not to go astray...
Because we do not want to influence these little ones to go
the same way.

We know that we can't escape their eyes...
And what they see each one of us do, each tries.

Like us they all want to be...
Those little ones who follow you and me.

We must always remember where we go...
During the summer or in the winter snow.

We are building for the years yet to be...
Memories for those little ones who now follow you and me.
