First Line: In your face I sometimes see
Last Line: The child you once were in your face?
Subject(s): Children; Childhood
In your face I sometimes see
Shadowings of the man to be,
And eager, dream of what my son
Will be in twenty years and one.
But when you are to manhood grown,
And all your manhood ways are known,
Then shall I, wistful, try to trace
The child you once were in your face?
