Steps

just a musing on a certain phrase I use a lot.

Baby steps,
What a contorted phrase,
A strange way of putting things,
It's twisted, messed up,
Weird.
Why when you take things slowly
Do you take baby steps?
Babies don't walk,
They have nowhere to go,
Everything is brought to them,
Everything is handed, gifted, given.
When you take baby steps,
It's never just handed to you.
It's never just gifted.
It's never just given.
What a stupid phrase.
