“Bless Me with Footsteps Worth Following”: Fatherhood and the Sons We Love

By David Heller

Bless Me with Footsteps Worth Following is a collection of poems about fatherhood and the relationship between fathers and sons by prolific author David Heller. In an engaging way, Dr. Heller traverses many parenting subjects, ranging from the incomparable joys of parenthood to its most troubling and difficult moments. He embraces through verse a fathers dream and desires for his son, as well as his worries and fears. This enjoyable compendium gives life to the feelings and intentions of fathers as they attempt to bring up their sons in the right way in an increasingly complicated world. This charming book brings together spirituality, psychology, and just plain common sense and, thus, engenders a celebration of the father-son relationship.

Here is one choice excerpt:

I am not at all certain
That nurturance has a gender
Where is it written that only one
Has the knack for being tender
