A Beautiful Reminder

I came across this poem while browsing the web, and as I read it, it reminded me of how I am being watched every second of the day by my children. It reminded me that I need to be the reflection of God's love in everything that I do. These babies are growing up to be what they see in me, and that, although somewhat frightening, is inspiration enough for me to become more disciplined in my walk with the Lord.


There are little eyes upon you,
And they are 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 she'll be like you.
You're the little child's idol,
You're the wisest of the wise,
In her little mind about you,
No suspicions ever rise;
She believes in you devoutly,
Holds all you say and do;
She will say and do in your way when
She's grown up to be like you.
There's a wide-eyed little child who
Believes you're always right,
And her ears are always open and she
Watches day and night;
You are setting an example
Everyday in all you do
For the little child who's waiting
To grow up to be like you.
