Going out

For the first time in a long time

To just take a walk and let the sunshine down on me.

But, every corner I turn more people appear and maybe before I wouldn’t mind.

But now everything is not normal so to see so many out as everything slowly opens up again.

Wasn’t something I was ready for with the virus still out there.

I quickly turned around and said goodbye to the walking around the neighborhood.

For I now know the risk is way too great to talk a chance on.

This thing is no joke and I for one don’t want it.

So back inside I go to hopefully see another day and maybe one day the normal things will be just that again.
