Daddy's Hands

I found this poem on the internet the other day, I thought it was so sweet so I saved it for Father's Day:

Daddy's Hands

"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.

You know, as I read this poem I think of our Heavenly Father, how He wants to lead us and we should have the heart of a child and want to follow Him too. This poem really spoke to me this week as my heart has been a little sore. I am thankful that something so small as a poem could bring me back to where I should be.
