Venturing Outside of Our Selves
9/1/2006 10:22:05 AM
The Journey

I was lifted and taken out of the door
Carried out of the house by my mother
And placed upon a blanket
Lumps and bumps I never felt before.

I did my best to sit up.
My eyes fell upon some strange faces.
Nothing familiar smells and sounds
And strange faces all around.

I felt fear and wonder in the scene.
"Smile!" came a voice from the croud.
It was deep and thundering loud.
I thought to my self "what does this mean"

I gathered all my courage to speak
but what I uttered was soft and weak
And in frustration I began to cry
I could not speak, I wondered why.

Years later I told my mother
She explained "You were 6 months old or under"
We took your picture then I knew why
She pulled out a picture of this little guy.

A tattered worn out black and white
She said "this is you, a precious site
You cried and we took this when
Our family came to visit back then."

So we talked on my mother and I
And she understood my tears and wiped them dry
Just like she did in her gentle way
My first baby picture was taken that day.
