Edgar Guest said:

I must be fit for a child to follow,

scorning the places where loose men wallow;

knowing how much he shall learn from me,

I must be fair as I’d have him be.

I must come home to him day by day,

clean as the morning I went away.

I must be fit for a child’s glad greeting;

his are eyes that there is no cheating.

He must behold me in every test,

not at my worst but my very best;

he must be proud when my life is done

to have men know that he is my son.

(by Edgar Guest. Guard Your Heart, p. 84)
