She took a step
a new begining in the world
tiny footprints in the sand
quickly traced by her mothers fingers
she smiled as she watch herself move
slowly, wobbling with each large step she took
traveling fast and faster
down the beach
through her life

she was flexable
she was naive, and broken a times
only secure when she knew her fathers arms
could wrap her tightly and never let go

she was breakable
she was scared, but she knew her way around
only safe when the sound of her young laughter
overcame the hardships of life

she was easy going
she indeed loved life, although she pleaded sometimes
that she would be swept away
if life was this hard now, what happens when i grow up?

her mother talks to her now
soft, monotone, but worried
afraid to tell her that shes grown up
that its time for her to go
its time for her to know the leasons she's learned
she doesnt want to travel so fast anymore
down the beach of life
she is afraid to leave home
to go out and face the world alone
beginings and endings: begining-first steps, endings-leaving home. leaving home of where you grew up.

Amazing, writing about a life with love and hardships.. Yet, not over explained. (like I'd probably do, lol)

Its a great poem :)

Life can be hard, to grow up and change..
