Footsteps

FOOTSTEPS  Walk a little slower Daddy, said a child so small,  “I’m following in your footsteps, and I don’t want to fall.  Sometimes your steps are very fast, Sometimes they’re hard to see, So walk a little slower, Daddy,  For you are leading me. Someday when I am all grown up, You’re what I want to be,  Then I will have a little child, who will want to follow me. 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.
