Footprints To Follow

Father’s bare feet left footprints in the sand Young son followed, each step carefully planned Tim wanted so much to be like his Dad Always emulating, quite a sweet lad So as you leave impressions on life’s shore Remember your path will not be ignored Tread gently, leave prints that make your kids proud Step far away from the perilous crowd Stop at times, build sandcastles, pick up shells Memories can’t be erased by sea swells Imprints on children’s hearts last forever Keep this in mind through every endeavor A child may be following your footsteps Always make your marks with loving precepts *Entry for Francine's "Barefoot" contest
