The First Step by Suman Dodril

One small step for man, a giant leap for mankind:

What about an young child, which cannot have pride:

In showing it can walk, neither can it talk:

Crawling on all four, it becomes so so bore:

What makes man different to which are apes indifferent:

Just to stand straight, and watch the sun rise bright:

That's where we have to hedge, to try to look over the edge:

It's a baby's first step, it's really the first step:

In a world so new, which they know so few:

It's a mother's delight, to see her son stand upright:

She now feels so secure, though it might be a little obscure:

An act of absolute imbalance, in life to get some balance:

It's a baby's first step, of course, it's a giant leap.
