FIRST STEPS

When I was a small
and cherubic, sensitive, dreamer child
I took my first steps
and fell.
You picked me up
as I cried
in roaring exhalations,
"My sweet baby,"
you said, and held me with love
when I was four.

On first steps of adventure, not literally first steps.
On a feeling.
On mom, and how she loved me for being a sweet sensitive dreamer child.
