Baby Steps
Today I had an ice cream cone -
In 14 months, my first
And stepped inside a supermarket -
Cautiousness reversed.
We drove up to our country place,
Last visited last summer,
And stopped to see some friends outside.
(Not vaccinated - bummer!)
So masks were on and off, but still
Some progress has been made.
I hope someday there’ll come a time
When I am not afraid.
I’ll keep on taking baby steps
And know I’m not alone,
But soon enough I plan to have
Another ice cream cone!
