He came into your world
at just the perfect time
His eyes were fixed on you
the cries you didn't mind
His mother was so proud
an heir to keep the name
You bragged to all your friends
life never was the same
He watched you every day
quite often mimicked you
The words you chose to use
he often spoke them to
And now the son is grown
his ways are fixed and firm
A child he soon will have
his ways that child will learn

Elizabeth Waterhouse So very true John we are very influenced in so so many ways, or we can also take the opposite road depending on the experience. My father taught me to never give up, if it was to be it was up to me! Also to watch the pennies! (God Bless him he failed miserably in that indeavour!)
