A mother's milestone

                                            Image result for a baby's step

With a spring in his maiden step, he jerked awkwardly 

ahead, wavering. With two uneven steps, the fall to the 

ground surprised him. With tempest in my chest, I cried 

with happiness.

I had googled extensively on Cerebral palsy.

Today is his fifth birthday.

    The second to last line took my breath away. What a beautiful take on the prompt.

    Much expressed in a few words.
    Such a deep bond between mom and child.
    Glad that her child took the first baby steps. One step for a child, a huge leap for her mom...

    That ending was a real surprise and really fit with the "tempest" in the chest, which at first threw me. By the end though, it was AHA!
