for the little babes in my life

So I have had this random phrase running in my mind all day. It's been a while since I felt a poem in me. Today I did. I haven't written a poem since I was a teenager. I used to love poetry and it would come so easily to me to rhyme together phrases and use descriptive words. I can see pictures in my mind with words. It's funny but that is how I remember things, places, names- all by pictures in my mind. Maybe that is why I am an artist, because I am so visually oriented. Maybe that is why I love coloring books, childrens books, fun and colorful design. I'm so visual it's kind of ridiculous, but it's what inspires me and drives me and gives me passion. That is why my photography is unique, because pictures tell a story. They tell the story your telling. I think that is why I love beautiful and descriptive Bible verses. God the most awesome Artist of all, felt that way too. That's a cool thought.

Steps

Pitter patter, tip toe,
watching, hearing, learning,
grow.

pitter patter, tip toe,
almost standing,
here I go.

pitter patter, tip toe,
running, racing,
never slow.

pitter patter, tip toe,
taller taller,
where did you go?

pitter patter, tip toe,
years fly by, 
where did time go?

pitter patter, tip toe
all grown up, and on your own,
always always in my heart,
my pitter patter, tip toe.

What a beautiful poem! Your family have so much talent between all of you. Artists, musicians, writers.
