Slower Daddy

"Walk a little slower daddy" said a child so small
"I'm following your footsteps and I don't want to fall.

Sometimes you are very fast,
Sometimes you'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'll have a 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.
