My First Steps
February 24, 2013
Barely 10 months old,
I was tiny and curious.
Grabbing the couch for support
I rose onto my unsteady feet
around and around
a coffee table
in the carpeted living room.
Slowly at first,
but soon I found that running
was a faster way to get around
A determined child I was,
busting my bottom lip
crying for attention
But still getting up afterwards,
only to try again.
