My darling son
you are walking now
carefully and excitedly
you puff out your chest, and grin from ear to ear
excited and happy for the love we give you
you wobble on unsure feet
in directions you didn't intend
and laugh along the way
and laugh as you bumble and tumble
into my arms
boxes have new meaning to you
they contain so much within in their simple shapes
these mysterious contents that don't have purpose to you yet
except as the inside of things
sound has a feel too
ticklish and soothing
reverberating through your head
through your fingertips
and here you are
exploring your own body's abilities
and limits
I love you
I will watch the world for you
and direct everything to you
