A Little Girl Follows Me

A careful woman I ought to be;

A little girl follows me.

I do not dare to go astray

For fear she'll go the self same way.

I cannot once escape her eyes;

What're she see me do, she tries.

Like me, she says, she's going to be,

The little girl who follows me.

She thinks that I am good and fine,

Believes in every word of mine;

The bad in me she must not see,

The little girl who follows me.

I must remember as I go,

Through summer's sun and winter's snow;

I am building for the years to be,

For a little girl follows me.

I am at the point where my little girl mimics everything I do, so this poem really touched my heart!  My prayer is that she will learn to love Jesus by my example.
