My baby's first footsteps today All the windows cover with boards My baby's first footsteps today Net Nannie the net or you beware My baby's first footsteps today You'll see him at Passions posting there Gaa gaa goo goo his poems will say Hide the liquor and windex up high My baby's first footsteps today Label them well maybe he's sly My baby's first footsteps today Put away things easy to break My baby's first footsteps today My babyproof house I must make But to the Lord I will just pray [This message has been edited by wayoutwalt (edited 03-30-2000).] |

I can tell the excitement you are feeling in this poem, as I feel it for you also. I saw the title and got a warm fuzzy feeling immediately. Excellent job, and a gigantic congratulations from me, and I can't wait to see his first poem posted here even if it is goo goo ga ga...LOL |

Walt~ One tiny step for baby on the way to giant leaps for poetry. He should have his feet firmly planted in Passion's in short order. Have a great vacation ! ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Walt, this is precious! Loved the rhythm of it. I bet you sing to him all the time, don't you? Babyproofing tip: Get down on your hands and knees and crawl through your house and yard. Anything you can reach, so can he. ~ Claire <~~~still smiling... [This message has been edited by Meadowmuse (edited 03-30-2000).] |

Congrats Walt! This is indeed a precious piece. *Krista Knutson* As soon as man does not take his existence for granted, but beholds it as something unfathomably mysterious, thought begins. ~*Albert Schweitzer*~ |

This is adorable Walt...sounds to me that you've got the right idea..definantly cover the electrical outlets!!! They give you the innocent face one minute, then sneak behind you to reek havok!!!lol Good luck sir...sounds as if you'll need it!!!! Open arms can be the most fragile in the world... |
