Bigger Than His Dad Poem Rhyme Scheme and Analysis
Rhyme Scheme: ABAB CDCD EFEG HIHI| He has heard his country calling and has fallen into line | A |
| And he's doing something bigger than his daddy ever did | B |
| He has caught a greater vision than the finest one of mine | A |
| And I know to day I'm prouder of than sorry for the kid | B |
| - | |
| His speech is soft and vibrant with the messages of truth | C |
| And he says some things of duty that I cannot understand | D |
| It may be that I'm selfish but this ending of his youth | C |
| Is not the dream I cherished and it's not the thing I planned | D |
| - | |
| I only know he's bigger in his uniform to day | E |
| Than I who stand and watch him as he drills have ever been | F |
| That he sees a greater vision of life's purpose far away | E |
| And a finer goal to die for than my eyes have ever seen | G |
| - | |
| I wish I felt as he does wish I had his sense of right | H |
| With the vision he possesses I should be supremely glad | I |
| But I sometimes start to choking when I think of him at night | H |
| The boy that has grown bigger yes and better than his dad | I |
