My First Steps..

I recall the first moment in this world,

When I pushed my way out to see the land.

My eyes and ears as eager as a new born child,

Waiting to absorb any knowledge I could.

To me the very fact of my birth was mysterious,

A great feat accomplished in time.

I sensed something even as I approached the surface,

Something calling out to me from a place so fine.

I was alone and untaught of the ways of survival,

Yet without any doubt in my mind.

I crawled blindly searching to find,

The one thing I was looking for.

The love of my mom,

I started to move, prepared for a long walk,

I felt a wonderful person guiding me to talk.

I knew in an instant that I was going the right way,

So then I walked and walked..

Towards the edge of the land,

Knowing that there, I would find my new home…….
