Walk a Little Slower...

I received this poem from my family on Father's Day. As I was rushing off to church, I made it a point to stop and enjoy the breakfast that Kelly had made for me (with help from the boys). I was then presented with this poem. It hit me more than Kelly expected. More than I told her. It reminded me of the father I want to be. Of my responsibility to not only do things for my children and take care of them, but to teach them how to take care of themselves. It isn't about telling my children what time it is. It's about showing them how the watch works.

To each of my sons, I say this. I want to walk a little slower, son. And so, I will. I promise.

Walk a Little Slower Daddy

"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'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 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."

I create a comment when I especially enjoy a post on a website or if I have
something to add to the discussion. It is triggered by the passion communicated in the article
I read. And on this post "Walk a Little Slower...".
I was actually moved enough to drop a comment ;-) I actually do have a couple of questions for
you if it's okay. Could it be only me or does it look like like some
of these responses appear like written by brain dead
individuals? :-P And, if you are writing on other sites, I would like to follow you.
Would you make a list the complete urls of all your social sites like your linkedin profile, Facebook page or twitter feed?
