Daddy's Footsteps
(Author Unknown)
"Walk a little slower, Daddy': Said a little 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 allgrown up, You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child Who'll 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. "
