I found this footprints poem on the Internet. I did a foot print of my daughter's foot, then once it dried, scanned it into the computer. I then used a graphic program, added the poem and pasted the footprint.
You could make this for Daddy or Mommy.

That is SO neat -- I've e-mailed this to my daughter-in-law. This might be something she'll do for my son for father's day next year. . .
My son and his wife had a baby in November and I can't think
of a better gift that surely would be held in the heart. My son is in Iraq at the moment, I think this is just what he needs. I's beautiful.
Love this. I think i will have to make some for gifts for people i know with babies. Thanks for sharing.
Hi Karyn,
Thank you so much for this neat idea. But it looks like the poem got cut off at the end . "So, " Can you repost then ending of the poem? Thank you in advance.

Editor's Note: Hi Bette, it looks like it is all there. Here is the poem:
For My Daddy
"Walk a little slower Daddy,"
said a child so small,
"I'm following in your footsteps
and I don't want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast,
Sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up,
You're what I want to be;
Then I will have a little child
Who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right,
And know that I was true,
So walk a little slower, Daddy,
For I must follow you."
