Walk a Little Slower...

'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 are hard to see;

         So, walk a little slower, Daddy,

         For you are leading me.'

'Some day 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.'
