When Will You Walk

for Lauren

Sitting and crawling
Standing and climbing
When will you walk?

The eagerness is in your eyes
You envy the children that go running by

I hear your little heart cry out:
I want to be able to run about!

My little sweet pea
Time will soon tell
Soon you will be afoot
And you will forget
All those times you fell

Desperately trying
One foot after another
Soon you will walk
