First Line: If your parent should be dressed in

Subject(s): Children; January; Parents; Childhood; Parenthood
IF your parent should be dressed in paint and fierce array,
Perhaps you'd think you'd be afraid and run and hide away;
But the Indian child at home who sees his father so,
Doesn't mind the paint and things, but laughs to see him go
Out to the woods to hunt; and the father waves his hand
And laughs back as all fathers do in every kind of land.
