Little boy of long ago,
You Are much too young to know
What the world expect« of men!
Life to you is mostly play.
Laughter fill« each happy day;
Oh, oe carefree while you may—.
Childhood never comes again
Little do you understand
What the later years demand, J
And you don’t appreciate
Half the blessings that you find, i
For your heedless baby mind
Looks ahead and not behind— <
Not until it is too late.
All too soon those clothe« you wear.
Made with Mother’s loving care.
Must be laid aside; and so
Every eager step you take,
Every childhood bond you break
Will intensify the ache
That your heart some day shall know.
I am you. dear little boy,
And I’m trying to enjoy
What appealed so much to you;
But there never comes a day
That J do not long to play
Back there where it's always May,
And the skies are always blue’
