Theresa Edwards Poet Shape

Steps

Our baby girl, barefoot
               Taking tiny steps-

                         A toddler
                                 Stepping into daddy's shoes

                                          A little girl
                                                   Tip-toeing in mommy's heels

                                                                   A teen
                                                                         Stepping in style
From tiny steps to stepping out                   
          Walk in the pathway                                       A young lady
                 of the Lord                                                    Stepping out on her own
