Footprints

"Walk a little slower, Daddy,"

Said a little child o 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 would want to lead just right,

And know that I was true;

So, walk a little slower, Daddy,

For I must follow you."
