Footsteps.

B is for Be

Remember the person you wanted to be?
Its still happening now, and its easy to see
Young boys trying to be their older brothers
Young girls following in the footsteps of mothers

Following the line between imitation and inspiration
Put high on a pedestal surrounded by expectation
Whether they are famous, friends, or related
The influence they have is understated

When I was younger I wanted to be an Australian Vet
Or in other words Rolf Harris, im not quite over that yet
Its strange how one can be inspired by a complete stranger
Could be worse, my brother wanted to be a power ranger

Weather its because they have more strength, years, or wealth
Its something you grow out of as you become yourself
And when you have made your own path, here’s a hint
Look around for those standing in your footprint.
