Little

Little did we know
Little did we dream
Little did we forget
Little did we move
Little did we love

All these little things adding up to big things
Little hands growing strong
Little organs developed well
Little feet kicking tough

All these little things adding up to big things
Little lungs learning to breathe
Little kidneys learning to filter
Little intestines learning to digest

All these little things adding up to big things
The first breathe
The first cry
The first hand grip

All these little things adding up to big things
The first filtration
The first stretch
The first poo

Growing a human is hard
Growing a human is exhausting
Growing a human is terrifying

The stage is set

This stage we live on
Full of all the shades you can imagine and more
Full of colors deep and shallow
Full of laughs and tears

This stage we present
This stage we outgrow
The stage we linger
The stage we end

The stage is bright
The stage is hot
The stage is lonely
The stage is empty

Full of promise
Full of need
Full of hope
Full of disaster
