Guest in The Charlotte Observer) The times nave proved my judgment bad, -I've followed foolish hopes in vain, And as you look upon your dad You see bim commonplace and plain j iM) BTOliant wisdom I enjoy: The jests I tell have grown to bore you. But just remember this, my boy. "Twas I who chose your mother for you! Against the blunders I have made And all the things I've failed to do, tW weaknesses which I've displayed,' This fact remains forever true; This to my credit still must stay Ar.d don't forget it. I implore you; Whatever else you think or say: 'Twas I who chose your mother for you! Chuckle at times behind my back About the ties and hats I wear. Sound judgment I am known to lackSmile at the ancient views I air. Say if you will I'm often wrong. But with my faults strewn out before you, Remember this your whole life long: 'Twas I who chose your mother for you! Your life from babyhood to now Has known the sweetness of her care; Her tender hand has soothed your brow; Her love gone with you everywhere. Through every day and every night You've had an angel to adore you So bear in mind 1 nni-p woe rSn-y.* . 'Twas I who chose your mother for you!
