My Dad's Shoes

My Dad's Shoes

My Dad walked all alone.
and his shadow was long.
A true man among men.
he was respectable then.

His shoes left a big print.
where ever they went.
Others men would listen.
If he'd voice an opinion.

With a softly gentle voice.
he spoke his view point.
I would grow up to know.
what made my Dad go.

Some words Dad spoke.
I put in my poems I wrote.
What ever my Dad taught.
will stay in my thoughts.

My shoes are a lot smaller.
and my shadow is not taller.
I'll stand tall and be there.
for all the families to care.

I could never fill his shoes.
But,still I must pay my dues.
Follow my Dad's foot steps.
they have passed all tests.
