ArcheoGator Posted January 15, 2014 Share Posted January 15, 2014 I came across this poem during my first W30. I found it to be important enough to print and place on my bathroom mirror. I actually read it in my head while brushing my teeth. Now that I am going for a W100, I thought I would share this poem here. Part of my road to health is to break the cycle that was passed on to me; a poor relationship with food and rampant obesity. It was anonymously penned: A careful man I want to be –a little fellow follows me.I do not dare to go astray,for fear he'll go the self-same way.I cannot once escape his eyes.Whatever he sees me do he tries.Like me he says he's going to be –that little chap who follows me…He knows that I am big and fine –And believes in every word of mine.The base in me he must not see –that little chap who follows me…But after all it's easier,that brighter road to climb,With little hands behind me –to push me all the time.And I reckon I'm a better manthan what I used to be…Because I have this lad at homewho thinks the world of me.
