"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 they are 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 are 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."By: John Hamilton
Written for his son in 1992.
