Rama Balasubramanian Poet Free verse

First Baby Steps

Babbling endlessly, holding furniture, he walks
When furniture ends he looks at me
Leaves his hands, rushes towards me 
Falling on my thighs, clasps them tightly
Joyous exhilaration fills me
I lift him and hug him lovingly

Note : This bite size poem captures the first time my son walked  on his own without holding anything.
