A Poem From Mrs. Eby ... —A THOROUGHBRED— Am I the thoroughbred man, I want my laddie to be? In the days that are his future, Do I want him to be like me? Nature’s put my mark on his features, I am putting my stamp on his soul. Can I help my boy reach the highlands. If I strive for a less er goal? It’s a sobering thought for fa thers, Aye, a sobering thought for me, As my boy sets sail on life’s ocean, shall he chart his course by me? Shall he think the thoughts that I think, Shall he say the things I say. Shall he live the life that I live, when I come to the end of my way? To our boy’s is the task of the future, we’ll soon leaive the world in their care. As a father I’ll help or I’ll hinder, my boy’s life’s burdens to bear. For the law is not to be broken, ’tis Almighty God’s wonderful plan. I must be a thorougbred father, If I’d sire a thoroughbred man. I looked into Ihose steady eyes and the solemn little face. And though: of all my careless ness, my blunders and mistakes. “Please Lord.” I prayed in quiet ness, “I want to be like You. Help me to say the things and ds* the things You’d have me do. For little eyes are watching me and footprints fit in mine. Help both of us to walk along in foot prints that are Thine.
