I dashed off to see the requirements. 2-2-5-7-5. Spot on you!
I know so many pronounce "towards" as "tords" -- but you have it absolutely right, it is, indeed two syllables! More than all of the above? Your poem speaks to that tentative nature that creeps...when we endeavor to move outside of our comfort zone.
Really profound.

Comment from Gloria ....
This is a five line poem of great depth. The contrasts of first steps being shaky alludes to those tentative steps first taken in life, all the way to those steps taken through all of life, and particularly the final steps.
Wishing you much luck with the Contest Committee with this perfect gem. :))

Stepping out into the unknown is scary and I have walked on new paths that have given me the chills in the past and tried to remain confident, life can present some tough challenges at times. I love these few words that speak volumes about life, love Dolly x

Debra,
This poem mixes artwork and words well. It shows how hard it is to take first steps after any kind of challenge life brings. It could be true after breakup, divorce, sickness, or death.
Good luck in the contest
Keep writing and stay healthy

Shaking up one's life is not easy, to start again for instance, the harder it gets as one gets older. But this is superbly written, a very nicely shaped and presented Cheryl, beautifully written, blessings Roy

What ever works.We have to keep going. Like the first steps the baby takes. Look how hard the child worked getting there. Day after day he or she proved what it takes to succeed. Getting there takes strength and courage. Thank you for sharing this poem.
