| Following Daddy's Steps Written by Raymond Lee Peltier ©2006 |
| Watched my son playing just outside my door, With my next door neighbor who just turned four; I wondered why my child would choose, To wear my old worn-out shoes. I saw him try with all his might, To make the laces snug and tight; I smiled to him, He’d walk and then, He’d only step right out again. I heard him say, his voice was glad, I want to be just like my Dad; I hope the steps that he would choose, Are safe for him to wear my shoes. And then a shout and a cry of joy, A “Hello Dad” and a “Hi-ya Boy”; We walked along in measured stride, My heart filled with love and pride. What have you done today my lad, I tried to wear your old shoes Dad; They’re big, but when I’m a man, I’ll wear your shoes, I know I can. We stopped and stood there, hand in hand. I saw my son’s tracks in the sand; His words, A prayer, came back to me, Lord, let my steps lead him to Thee. What have you done today my lad, I tried to wear your old shoes Dad; They’re big, but when I’m a man, I’ll wear your shoes, I know I can. |
