Have you ever thought?

Have you ever thought about who follows you? Or how they watch you when you are not watching? We as mother’s are watched all the time. Our children see what we do and they know us better than anyone else most of the time. They see us not only at our best but also at our worst. Do we ever treat anyone as badly as those closest to us? I found this poem awhile ago and thought it so fitting. Not only for mom’s of girls but to moms in general. And truth be told to all people. Shouldn’t we all remember that people are always watching us. We need to think about how our actions impact others.

A careful woman I ought to be:

A little girl follows me;

I do not dare to go a stray

For fear she’ll go the self-same way.

I cannot once escape her eyes;

What’re she sees me do,

she tries

Like me, she says,

she’s going to be,

The little girl who follows me.

She thinks that I am good and fine,

Believes in every word of mine;

The bad in me she must not see,

The little girl who follows me.

I must remember as I go
Through summer’s sun and winter’s snow,

I am building for the years to be,

For a little girl follows me.

Speaks volumes in such simple words!! Let’s be careful for there are children watching us as we serve in these mission fields (homes) God has placed us in.
