First Steps

Thoughts (blue) versus words (pink) that happened when Riley Jasmine took her first steps three years ago today. R.I.P. baby girl

Look at that

She's actually trying

My baby girl's growing

Flying through life

I don't want this

Not this soon

Before I know it

She'll be gone too

She seems to dance

Each step so graceful

Like the steps

Of a dancing angel

Too soon she'll leave

and I'll be alone

Not able to love

because I can't move on

I hope she finds

What she wants to be

Because I hope

She does better than me

She'll learn to live

And forget about you

Because you are nothing

More than her past

She'll be so beautiful

And definitely a heart thief

I don't want her to know

Why I do what I do with life
