When my daughter took her first steps, I couldnt believe it. It was a mixture of emotion, disbelief and shock. All crampled into one. I had planned for this day for many days. I thought, well, when her day finally comes and she takes her first step, I will scream and shout. I would make a little video of her and share with her daddy and be the first one to tell him his daughter is walking. Make a big deal about it. I made the perfect visual video I could imagine. And all those that love her would call and eagerly show the concern they had for her to walk. So I waited...phone always in hand to film her as she took those first baby steps.
She didnt. She suprised me actually. So on this day, I had little footsteps as she walked towards me. Tic Toc Tic Toc. In her little shoes she walked towards me. My back was facing away from her. And it was the most precious thing I ever felt. Save for the baby kicks in my womb. This was also one of the most priceless gifts. Couldnt explain the feeling.
And now it's a few months down the line. Watching her grow to a little girl has been amazing. Maybe the reason why I have dropped my writing skills. But it's been worth it. You never regret being a parent. It's a huge responsibilty God gives us. A little empty vessel we are all given. To fill with words and actions. As they grasp what they see and hear.
So in one of those moments, I decided to write;

So in one of those moments, I decided to write;
Little girl walks with the majesty of a queen,
She walks with the swag of one who knows her purpose,
She knows where she wanna go,
Tap tap tap goes her little toddler feet,
Her little round bum moves with her,
Angelic in everyone’s eyes, she knows she’s a show stopper.
Little girl knows what she wants
For when she sets her mind on something,
Little girl will sure get it
Whether it’s waking Papi in the wee hours of the morning,
Or calling Papi till he responds,
Little girl will keep insisting till she has her own little
way
And who would refuse her?
Little girl is growing so fast,
Knowing this, knowing that, imitating this, repeating that,
Tough in her own young way,
She’s got the world in her small tiny hands
This little honey bunny plum
She’s gonna be a great force
It's just awesome watching them grow!
Have a blessed day!
