A beautiful, beautiful poem.

Five steps to what seemed my one
It wasn’t long, her wisdom took over
As she suddenly let go of my fingers
She took off- hurrying barefooted
Back and forth down the sidewalk
In her version of a drunken sailor
Sunlight danced off her curly hair
Sundress and excited arms were flying
Giggles added to her growing charm
Her laughter was certainly infectious
I swear, this girl was born half angel
You could tell by her half tooth smile
The first time she really tasted freedom
She has been chasing after it…ever since
