“Dear Daddy”
“In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father’s house three months” (Acts 7:2020In which time Moses was born, and was exceeding fair, and nourished up in his father's house three months: (Acts 7:20)).
When I’m a great big man like you,
I want to do just like you do;
I’m going to go just where you go;
I want to know all that you know.
I’m just growing awful big,
Following right along in the tracks you dig;
I think it won’t be very long,
I’m growing so fast and getting so strong.
And soon I’ll go to town with you,
And be your partner all day through;
I’m just a little, great big man,
Just getting like you, as fast as I can.
“Dear Son”
“My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways” (Prov. 23:2626My son, give me thine heart, and let thine eyes observe my ways. (Proverbs 23:26)).
I’m glad you want to like me be,
But I must change some things, I see;
If you’re going to do just what I do
And follow me your whole life through,
Then I must pray for strength and power
To walk the Christian life at every hour;
Then I will leave tracks along the way
Which you can follow to joy and endless day.
