A Heap Of Care And Patience

 

It takes a heap of working with a boy to make a man.

A heap of care and patience, and you’ve got to understand

That he won’t be any better than you were as a lad,

Unless a spark is kindled to show him what is bad.

He looks to you for guidance, and he looks to you with pride.

It’s up to you to demonstrate, you can’t just let it slide.

For with that eager mind of his, he watches you each day

Judges you by what you do, not just by what you say.
