Step By Step Poem by lara solis

I opened my eyes, I breathed in, I breathed out.
I lived.

I slipped in my first pair of shoes, I walked, I fell.
I lived.

I cried my eyes out, I loved, I broke.
I lived.

I took your hand, I was an aid for walk, I helped you eat.
I lived.

I read my books, I grew, I lived.
You died.


to Mami, my grandmother: rest in peace aren't enough words to describe you now you're gone.
