Poems and politics

She may be a budding politician but Dora Roimata Langsbury also writes poetry. This one about her father is one of the poems published on boards in Victoria St.

My Father’s Footsteps

I can see you up ahead of me I am following in your footsteps no matter how fast I walk I cannot catch up your footsteps are bigger than mine but they were warm and safe to step in you turn around and smile encouragingly then return to your journey thank you for your footsteps when I can no longer see you they will always be here pointing me in the right direction
