.3. An Open Door Poem by David Threadgold

.3. An Open Door

Rating: 5.0


Ten chubby fingers
On two chubby hands
Reach for support
To help when she stands

First time stood alone
She’s starting to talk
Put best foot forward
Beginning to walk

Her world will now change
Many things to explore
Now she can reach
She will open the door

this is such a wonderful poem, simple and effective in evoking emotions we have all felt when a child takes a fist step and begins to explore. he slowly becomes a person and is no longer so helpless.

Just when we think that we have the place child-proofed...they learn to walk! ! ! Then parents have a whole new set of concerns! : -) Hugs, Dee

A very precious time in a child's life. So much to discover with their little minds going in a million directions. Sweet poem, David, I loved it! Warm Wishes, Marilyn

That's so cute and brings back such warm memories. The only thing is, once they open that door soon they are all gone. Time is certainly fleeting. Great little poem! (10)
