FATHER'S FOOTSTEPS

A father and his tiny sonCrossed a rough street one stormy day.

"See, papa," cried the little one,"I stepped in your steps all the way."

Ah, random childish hands that dealQuick thrusts no coat of steel could stay;

It touched him with the touch of steel:"I stepped in your steps all the way."

If this man shirks his manhood due,And heeds what lying voices say;

It is not one who falls, but two---"I stepped in your steps all the way."

But they who thrust off greed and fear,Who love and watch, who toil and pray;

How their hearts carol when they hear,"I stepped in your steps all the way."
