Steps.

An impressed father
and a worried mother
encourage their son
to take his first steps.
One step at a time,
careful not to fall.

An anxious son
helps his father
to get up and walk.
One step at a time,
careful not to fall.

A proud mother
takes her daughter
around town in a pram.
One step at a time,
careful not to make her cry.

A kind hearted nurse
takes the old woman
in a wheelchair around the block.
One step at a time,
careful not to jerk the chair.
While the senile woman
talks about her busy child
proudly with tears in her eyes.

—Happy Mothers’ Day. —
