"How sweet it is," said Jackie Gleason, a popular actor of the fifties and sixties. Could he have likely known your dad, for the two of use similar syntaxes. :-) Well done, and you finished number one for your submission "Steps."

    I thank you, Tom, for the feedback and kind words! I think he had a fear of flying too, is that right? Another similarity- my dad is a terrible flyer. Go figure!

I don't read much poetry, but noticing a few of those I do read, read you, so I'm back for more. And for this one I'm glad I came. Congratulations on your well deserved win!

That is a beautiful piece that speaks to the wonderful fathers out there in the world. It made me think of my Dad and how he has always been there for me. My biggest fan, and it sounds like you are your father's biggest fan as well.

The author's words are filled with admiration. The poem is descriptive
and creative. I found these words filled with love and praise. A beautiful
tribute! I liked how this author used many examples of support and
love from her Dad. The artwork is awesome and compliments this poem!

A wonderful tributary poem.
-Interesting variations on the walk through life: the gait, the stroll, the cat walk, the footsteps, the tightrope walk and the walk to our destinies.
-Beautiful integrative poem, balancing well the philosophical and the creative mind.
-Repetition of: He, is a very impactful device to show the weight of influence of the person referred to, like a pillar of constancy and strength.
A wonderful writing style. Interesting to read poem for its explorations and design.

What a beautiful tribute to your father, or what a father hopefully is to most of us. Every word flowed like music. My father smelled like old spice and cigars, to this day those smells bring back memories.
