Envy Poem by Phil Soar

I envy those whose infancy can be recalled at once
Whose first steps are balanced and recorded
Those whose first words brought smiles
Whose memories revive the innocence of youth
Where moments of hurt are soothed by mother's healing hands
Whose father's held them up to the sky on sunny days
How many times they shared birthdays together
Shed tears during hard times
Made learning fun
and watched the results cause exuberance
And cried when they left
But still come home to share their love
Yet remember their infancy
The building blocks of life cemented by loving parents
I envy them
