Look Down At Your Toes

The best advise I ever had,
Was given at the foot
Of my dear old dad.
Son, he said, Understand
One test, just one
Ever really shows
You're finally a man.
Just stand up
Look down at your toes.
Years passed, each with their toll.
Still I fought the good fight
With body and soul.
At last with grey in my hair,
I stood up. I looked down.
Why, they're not there!
Dad, your test really shows.
It's part of the plan.
When you look down
And can't see your toes,
You're finally a man.
