first comes crawling
then walking
mastering motion
one foot
in front of the other
i'm learning
my balance is shaky
my body bruised
from falling
they say i look stable
they say i'll walk soon
but some days
it's easier to crawl
than to walk
and
sometimes
standing up
scares me
one foot
in front of the other
it has taken
it will take time
