Footprints
"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'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child,
Who'll want to follow me."
"And I know I want to lead just right.
And know that I was true.
So walk a little slower Daddy,
For I must follow you."
