These short poems about baby steps are a reflection of watching a child grow, along with encouragement for life.
They reflect our thoughts for our children as they journey through life.
Hopefully, the poetry will be inspirational not only to our children
but to all others who read it.
They are good verses to include in a birthday card, or at graduation, or if
someone just needs a few words of encouragement. We offer many other
The words of Tom Hiddleston summarizes these poems well: "You keep putting one
foot in front of the other, and then one day you look back and you’ve climbed a
mountain."
You were so small my little treasure
Watching you grow has been a pleasure.
I remember those first baby steps
Some made you laugh, some made you sweat.
Each day will bring challenges to face
from baby steps to new places.
And as you grow and experience life
I hope you learn to counter all life's strife.
Always remember, my love for you
When you're happy and when you're blue.
It is mistakes you'll make
But, sometimes, though, life's not a cake.
But like baby steps you first took
You will learn, listen and look.
When you consider life as a gift,
It can give you a big lift.
Two steps forward, one step back
Determination, and persistence never lack
Giant steps, baby steps we all take
But in the end, your attitude it will make.
When certain steps don't work out
Don't sit and pout
Remember how far you have come
From the first baby step to what now you've become
I am proud of you my wonderful treasure
You are special, unique and a wonderful pleasure!
We hope these poems are ones that you will share with others. Poems that reflect
hope, love, and encouragement. As we rush through life we often need to be
reminded that taking one step at a time or baby steps is often the road to
success.
