The Growing Crawl

by Matt Forget

Crawl

My baby as you begin your sweet adventure

Your journeys unsurpassed

Lifting one knee after the other

Mischief only you can get into

Oh mother, watch the stairs!

 

Crawl

Through the murky caves

Where goblins rein this nasty land

Darkness unforeseen

Terror lurks within

Mommy, I’ve had a bad dream

 

Crawl

From under the desk

Where you dropped your pencil

During the math quiz

Where you would much rather ride your bike

Mom, I feel sick, can I stay home?

 

Crawl

Out of bed

Shutting the damn alarm clock off

Get up late from oversleeping

Running out the door to school

Ma, I missed the bus, I need a ride

 

Crawl

To plug that computer in

Booting up for the first day of classes

Four years creating the rest of your life

Dreams to come true

I’ll be fine mom, I promise

 

Crawl

Under the tree for the holidays

Celebrating Christmas since you left

Things feel different as once was

Grown up

Merry Christmas Mom!

 

Crawl

And find that wire you dropped

That hooks the resistor to the capacitor

Where the light holds steadily green

Making hundreds of thousands of dollars

Mom, did you say you wanted to clean my mansion?

 

Crawl

My little angel as you follow my journey

But different as everyone’s may be

Gradually you’ll show the way

That way to a better tomorrow

Daddy, can Grandma come too?
