A little child is watching me
Knows every move I make,
Hears every word I utter,
Sees every step I take.

Is conscious of my attitude,
Is wise to all my flaws,
Is witness when I am unkind,
Or angry without cause.

She silently observes me
As I go from day to day,
While in her mind an image forms
Of what she'll be someday.

Yes, although I do so much wrong
Leave so much good undone,
I'm the model Roxanne has.
I am what she will become.

Dear Father, help me realize
All that I must do.
Let me train and teach my child
To always live for You.

But Father, more than training her
By words and counsel true,
Let me by the way I live
Show her how to follow You.
