sometimes a mother will
fall back in step watching
letting the children march forward
thinking they know
the destination of a journey
already mapped for them

Enjoyed your take on the prompt, sometimes a mother has to step back and let their children make their own tracks in the journey.

Mothers being mothers will always give way to their children's curiosity in life! They are expected to make mistakes along the way. It is ok as a learning process as long as the mistake is not material!

Here we have a no travel advisory as numbers are a concern, a couple of provinces have lockdowns for high numbers. But we have some stubbornly non compliant people. Stay safe, Gillena.

It is always good to get the children believe they are choosing the way to go when the family go for a walk.
