"Walk a little plainer, Daddy,” Said a little boy so frail. “I’m following in your footsteps and I don’t want to fail.” Sometimes your steps are very plain--- Sometimes the’re hard to see; So walk a little plainer, Daddy, For you are leading me. I know that once you walked this way Many years ago. And what you did along the way I’d really like to know. For sometimes when I am tempted, I don’t know what to do. So walk a little plainer, Daddy, For I must follow you. Someday when I’m grown up You’re like I want to be. Then I will have a little boy Who will want to follow me. And I would want to lead him right And help him to be true, So walk a little plainer, Daddy, For we must follow you. ---Author is an unknown child, a relative of kathphen |
