Stepping Stones

Playing in the dirt
Knees getting hurt
Hitting a home run
Children having fun
Stepping stones

First date
Getting late
Awkward kiss
Teenage bliss
Stepping stones

Vows of haste
Heartbeats raced
Family become
Welcome son
Stepping stones

Just us three 
More to family
Two perfect boys
Childhood joys
Stepping stones

All alone
On our own
Met one more
Kids three & four
Stepping stones

Alone again
Found best friend
True love
Our life begun
Stepping stones

Fairy tale found
New life abound
Perfect harmony shown
Jewlz & Tone
Stepping stones
Led me home

Your poetry reminds me of my own in some ways. Some of the same kinds of themes although written differently. I love this. I wrote one very much like it, "A Lifeline of Love".
