My first steps
" Today is the day that,
like a grown up I`ll be,
Iwill finallystand up .
in my two feet.
So hereI go,
upa ! I`m standing up!
funny like things are from up here....
Iwill make my first step now,
easy, easy, one step forward
one to my left and
then, two backwards.....upps!
Iam starting to feel funny, kind of dizzy,
steady, steady and my pumpis
back to the floor they went.....
.........
damn it!!
........
SoI will try again,
this timeI wil be hold by that big stick
(a table`s wood leg)
soI did and
a wonfderful world stands in front of me...
suddenly by surprisei was taken
when my dad came in
and his hands to his face are
with an amazing and funny look in his eyes....
He started talking, words thati do not understand,
then mom came in
andI wonder
what didI do for them to be like this?
istarted to "run" to them
kind of scaredI am .i confess,
suddenly ...
the floor was not a problem anymore,
sinceI was immersed .
in a sea of kisses and hugs....
in their arms, a place where
I belong....."
