Those first steps moms are proud of,
The first steps that take all of work and courage,
Those first words mum-mum that makes your moms cry tears of joy,
The first day of kindergarten,
Your first field trip that you can't wait to go on because your ecstatic.
The first day of Jr. High when you finally get to go to different class rooms rather than just staying in one room.
High School!
Prom!
Graduation!
When everything starts to change right before your eyes.
Eventually those first steps lead up to the last steps of your life.

How far are you going to get?

I was just sitting in my room thinking about life in general when I decided to write this poem. I'm hoping that when people get done reading this they will take life more seriously or maybe someone will make a sequel to my poem.
