First StepsIt's a persistent battle.First Steps
I see the tension in his eyes.
So focused, determined.
He won't give up the fight.
He'll try once again, and if he falls,
I know he'll faithfully stand again.
Small hands clasp tightly on the rails.
Thin arms strain with effort.
He takes a deep breath,
and his first step forward.
Each step is slow,
and his effort is great.
But each inch is his reward.
Three steps to go.
Now two.
Now one.
He made it!
