Within My Power:
I'm not a very Important Man, as...
Importance is Commonly Rated, I Don't...
Have Great Wealth, Control a big Business...
or Occupy a Position of Great...
Honor or authority;
Yet I may Someday mold Destiny...
For it's within my Power to Become...
the most Important Man in the...
World in the Life of a Boy...
and every boy is a Potential...
Atom Bomb in Human History;
A Humble citizen like myself might...
have been the Scoutmaster of a...
Troop in which an undersized...
unhappy Austrian lad by the Name...
of Adolph might have Found a...
Joyous Boyhood, full of the...
Ideals of Brotherhood, Goodwill...
and Kindness and the World would...
have been Different;
A Humble citizen like myself might...
have been the Organizer of a...
Scout Troop in which a...
Russian boy called Joe might have...
Learned the Lessons of...
Democratic cooperation;
These Men would never have...
known that they had averted...
World Tragedy, yet actually they...
would have Been among the most...
Important Men who ever Lived;
All about me are Boys, They are...
the makers of History, the...
Builders of Tomorrow...
If I can have some Part in...
Guiding them up the Trails...
of Scouting, on to the High Road...
of Noble Character and...
Constructive Citizenship, I may...
Prove to be the Most Important...
Man in my Community;
A Hundred Years from now it...
Will not Matter what my...
Bank Account was, the...
Sort of House I Lived in,
or the Car I Drove. But...
the World may be Different...
Because I was Important in...
the Life of a Boy
