Stepping Forward

Her first time on the stage, again was frightened as could be,Again, her mama hugged her tight, said,”Darling look at me!”“You’ve practiced all your lines, you know them to the ‘nth’ degree,“So just step forward, dear, and your success, I’ll guarantee!”
A few years on, once more she has to face a great unknown,Marriage to her love and for the first time, leaving home,Her mama smiled and took her hand and said, “My girl, you’re grown,“So just step forward, dear. Be glad! You’ll never be alone.”
The years have passed, some good, some bad, and always, when there’s fear,She hears her mama’s voice a’whispering softly in her ear,“When there’s nowhere else to go, and you simply can’t stay here,“Just step forward, dear, you’ll find your problems disappear.”
And now there’s a pandemic. Fear for all around her there,She sees the ones who act with thought and those who simply glare,She’s frightened. Sudden hears her mom say, “Darling, let them stare.“And just step forward, dear. But wear a mask and be aware!”

From Baili and I, we’ve our topic today,Pandemic, disturbing in ev-er-y way!Next week (I think I’ll need a hug)Cause we’ll all be discussing ‘Bugs’!
