On being a "mommy"

On Being a Teacher (change teacher to Mommy) (by Emma Brown) A careful teacher/mommyI want to be A little girl follows me I do not dare to go astray For fear she'll go the selfsame way I cannot escape her eyes; Whatever 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 base in me she must not see The little girl who follow me. I must remember as I go Through summer's sun and winter's snow, I am building, for the years that be, For that little girl who follow me.
