Follower… Poem by Adrian Wait

I followed with outstretched hands
You caught me when I fell
I learned to wobble, then to walk
With you all would be well

I followed you at work
You guided me on the way
I learned to listen to others
You guide me still today

I followed you at play
You taught me how to smile
I learned to tell a story
And to walk another’s mile

I followed you today
Up the steps and to your rest
I will follow you again, Dad
When I am laid to rest.
