You sang the song of my steps
then taught me the tune,
on my own now
to learn
the words for this gift

Beautiful and flowing, I especially love, ‘You sang the song of my steps’
Thank you, Leah, for your close reading and supportive words. Nice to be confirmed by an admirable poet
What a turn: “on my own now.”
Nancy, thank you. Such validation from an accomplished wordsmith
This is a jewel of a poem. I just love it when I find a delightful small poem that works on so many levels.
