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.
