I hold your tiny hand in mine
you take a few small steps
A look of determination upon your face
I let go and hold my breath
I watch as you move slowly forward
and you tumble to the ground
I want to run and scoop you up
but I wait patiently without making a sound
You push yourself up to your feet
steady now, dont fall
You're more determined than before
it's time to walk not crawl
You take a step and balance yourself
its difficult but yet you know
I take a deep breath and think to myself
"Only three more steps to go"
Your arms are moving in excitement
your eyes they show success
and my heart fills up with pride and joy
as you take those baby steps
As you've grown through the years
I remember that precious time
how letting go was hard to do
when your tiny hand was inside mine
Still you should know as you go
and walk life's baby steps
I'll always be there for you -watching
and sometimes holding my breath
