Small Steps

Posted on January 24, 2016 by PookyH

She took his hand
And faced the world.
A world she feared.
A world of judgement
Horror and despair.
But he was there.
He was there.
He guided,
Held
And gently pushed
When needed.
Tentative steps,
Gulps of foreign, outside air
Clutching to his hand
Her link to sanity,
Safety.
They stepped forth.
A few small steps today.
More tomorrow?
