Today's photo prompt is

Early Happy Birthday (August 28) to Big M aka Sis of Angel Madi...this photo challenge reminded me of her first set of wheels. This is a recycled poem in 2020, it was # 1 of 83 Thoroughly Poetic Thursday Challenges.

Big M 

(her Dad gave her that nickname and sometimes still uses it)

In 1972 she was out of the playpen
the but the tree was in.
She had inquisitive hands.
It looked funny but at least it would not
fall on her head.
She was ready to go but her legs were slow.
She had wheels but was lacking skills.
Our hope was by spring she'd grow.
No worries though she traversed the living room
like a pro.
Oh that look of pure glee on her first Christmas
remains in my mind's eye to this very day.
