"Walk a little slower, daddy.", said a 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."

"Someday when I am 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."
