First steps.

Bells chime, lesson time,
treasure trove of ABCs -
first year of marriage.
********************************
Tiny feet totter,
pride, joy light up mother's eyes,
toddler takes first step.
********************************
First kiss of warm love,
last embrace of pleasant dreams,
horizon of hope.
********************************

    Few years move along
    Toddler becomes teenager
    More fears for parents

      Nice Haiku SG :) It is true, with time, pride has to share the space with anxiety.

    cant stop responding so beautiful !

    first year of marriage.
    time flies by swift as swallow
    a monsoon outpour

    toddler takes first step.
    miracle of creation
    swan in summer lake

    horizon of hope.
    one legged crane looks back
    spring's dream in winter

    Each haiku tells a story of its own...
    And spreads a joy of its own...
    Nice!

    first kiss, first year as a bride and the first step of a toddler are all memorable and lay the foundation of a solid relationship.
