Notes for Fred Hunting REYNOLDS:
Poem written by Fred Hunting Reynolds about his son Fred Hunting Reynolds Jr

A WISH

I watch with fear his little feet
Uncertain - plunging by,
So bravely onward, aimed to meet
Some prize before his eye
And heeding not his wish at all
I stop the baby's joy,
And halt his steps to guard a fall-
He's such a little boy-

And wondering thoughts come to me then
Of what will be his fate,
In later days when ways of men
Will all in turn await
His youthful moods, towards Plesure turned
Without the curb of Fear,
What guiding hand, so much concerned
May keep his pathway clear?

For when he treads life's later ways
With dangers spread for men,
And I have passed my earthly days,
And could not aid him, then
Perhaps no one in life's queer game
There'll be at hand to care-
No one with Love to help his arm
Keep straight and true and fair.

Or if I fail or guide him wrong
towards paths with Evil rife,
Or he give heed to Satan's song
And make a waste of Life,
What joy could fill eternity
For me, if I should find
That Fate has strangely brought me free
But left his soul behind?

Death may lay saving hands on him
While yet his years are few
Or I soon cross o'er Life's sharp rim
Earth's future lost to view
Then let me keep one vision clear
If Heaven's rules allow-
At Judgement hour, may he appear
To me - as he is now.

For when that reckoning Day begins,
If ought be due to me
Instead of pardon for my sins
I'll only ask to see
Come stumbling up the Path of Light
To enter Heaven's joy-
A little figure - smiling - bright
Unchanged - my little Boy.
