it feels good to see you happy
as if anticipation’s quiver
and excitement’s waves would shiver
tingles upon your arms and legs
 

wiggling your toes of eagerness
to face the day, the night in fervor
it is, isn’t it?  grand and specter
prospect of exhilaration
 

recognition of knowing
bold and tentative of surety
tipsy feeling of dizziness
acknowledging the unknown

offering of trust and hope
permitting of joyful response
graciously reaping as the threshold
resonates adventure’s spirit of elation!
 

and baby, self confidence looks so good on you
