Step by step

A person poem about what I learned from my dad.

Step by step

A child follows their parents

Step by step 

From the moment they start walking

Step by step

They learn from their parents 

Step by Step

As the child grows older 

They rebel, fight, and get in trouble

Step by Step

I followed my dad

Where ever he went 

Step by Step

I learned from him

As He, himself

 step by step

Followed all his days

The Lord His father

Step by step

I learned from him 

Step by step

God's love, His word

Step by step

My Dad taught me

Step by step

until the day

 my dad passed away

I learned from my dad

step by step

I followed the footsteps

Of my dad

After his death

Baptized into the body of Christ

Step by step

I now follow my Lord Father

All the days of my life 

Just like my father did.

A sad and beautiful poem. We do follow our parent in thoughts and life. I like how you use the description leading the reader to the very good ending. Thank you for sharing the excellent poem.
