Baby Steps
Our baby steps poem is a short poem that reflects our thoughts for our children as they journey through life. The inspiration for this poem was our children and reflecting back over time watching them grow into the adults they are today. Hopefully the poetry will be inspirational not only to our children but to all others who read it.Baby Steps

You were so small my little treasure
Each day will bring challenges to face
Always remember, my love for you
But like baby steps you first took
Two steps forward, one step back
When certain steps don't work out
I am proud of you my wonderful treasure
watching you grow has been a pleasure.
I remember those first baby steps
Some made you laugh, some made you sweat.
from baby steps to new places.
And as you grow and experience life
I hope you learn to counter all life's strife.
when you're happy and when you're blue
.
It is mistakes you'll make
But, sometimes, though, life's not a cake.
You will learn, listen and look.
When you consider life as a gift,
it can give you a big lift
Determination, and persistence never lack
Giant steps, baby steps we all take
But in the end, your attitude it will make.
Don't sit and pout
Remember how far you have come
From the first baby step to what now you've become
You are special, unique and a wonderful pleasure!
