DAILY SNACK
Irene will take a step or two now
Before careening into the outstretched arms of a loving relative.
Or into a piece of furniture.
She is not walking yet,
But will be soon.
Her first step, though,
Her very first step
I have already forgotten.
I simply can’t remember when or where it was.
I will just have to say that she took her first steps around 11 months of age
Just like Colum took his at 10 months,
And hope I can at least muster up a blurry recollection of some of those early steps.
Oh wait. Video technology.
I’ll get on that.
