Eye's open to an over-bright light
as your introduced to the outside.
Energy's received as you suckle against
The special being of warmth and nourishment.
The one who cleans you up, heals your rash,
heals your sick,
keeps you safe in every waking moment.

Laughs at the silly figure in
Front of you with the sweet scent
And the comforting presence.
Cries when you're disturbed,
and without that quiet pleasure
of being with them.
Being a comfort, or a pain,
when they're in distress.

Laying on your stomach.
Putting into appendages strength.
Rocking back and forth,
placing your hand forward,
one after another.

Concentrating.
Balancing against a tall object.
Pushing up against the pull of the flooring
with your small legs.
releasing the supportive object
to stand.
One foot in front, then your other.
You wobble, but this time you're at your best.
One, two, three.

Baby steps.
Let me know what you think. Critique it away
