Hi, I read an article with this sentence "His (Dad's) powerful hands, then age 33, wrapped all the way around my tiny arms, then age 4, and easily swung me up to his shoulders to command all I surveyed."
I don't understand the word "command ". Is it the father who "command"s, or I who look over everything from a higher position. Thank you!

Yes, you are right. He is in a dominant, commanding position perched upon his father's shoulders above all, able to survey all that he sees.
