Footsteps

“Walk a little slower Daddy,”

said a child so small.

“I’m following in your footsteps

and I don’t want to fall.

(2012)

Sometimes your steps are very fast,

Sometimes they’re hard to see;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

For you are leading me.

(2013)

Someday when I ‘m all grown up,

You’re what I want to be;

Then I will have a little child

Who’ll want to follow me.

(2014)

And I would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;

So walk a little slower, Daddy,

For I must follow you.”
