Scents and sounds of baby powder and sighs
Greet me as I watch each small step you take
To steady your balance upon each try
Encouraging your mind to concentrate
On the importance of learning to walk
With your held held high, full of confidence
Along the path you choose outlined in chalk
From these childhood years of innocence
A strong, steady hand inside of your own
Will grasp your fear until it fades away
And you will remember when you have grown
The courage it gave you to undertake
Small feats of success and failure at times
Bring hope to your heart and tears to my eyes
