One Year Ago
One year ago today,
we thought it would be a few weeks,
we thought masks would be a passing
inconvenience
We looked for signs of spring and hope
as we went walking.
We held on to those close to us
playing new card games
cooking new recipes
finding kings and tigers
and went walking.
Today we wore our masks,
walked along the same roads
smiled and laughed and hoped
looking forward to vaccinations
grateful for the sunshine
and for walking.
