The Steps
By Julia T

Animals cover you,
Of colours only imagination holds.
Helping my brother and I
Reach
For our books,
Education,
And dreams.
Step by step.
Picture books, fairy tales, fantasy,
Grasped in our delicate hands.
With you assisting us,
To reach our infinite collection.
Step by step.
Non-fiction, fiction, novels,
In our older yet still-young hands.
With you helping us,
Reach the top shelf.
Step by step.
And now as we have aged,
Importance has passed.
Taller we grow,
Reaching.
Yet you still have a spot
Underneath the bookshelf.
