Father and Son

Father and Son Father, you are now a man — Recently you were a boy. Help your "youngster" all you can High ideals to employ. Place on him no rigid ban Lest strange doubts his soul decoy. Be his chum — discuss his plan — Keep his childhood full of joy. You, his "Captain;" he, your "Mate" — See the voyage well begun. Other things may better wait Oft than spoil his work or fun. Careful! He will imitate — Let your aims unite as one, Leading up to good and great — Thankful father — worthy son. L. Lula Greene Richards
