Do you put your arms around him as

DO you give him little kisses without

Do you ask him if he's weary, do you
wonder at his trials,
Do you wait for him to welcome him

Do you show him you appr0iate the

The thoughtfulness he shows you as

Do you take him TO your bosom, lay

Do you cling to him in trouble and do
