Into the woods my daughter and I
Armed with sticks and her keen eyes
I know the way! her feet show us
And then we stop and look
Beneath a giant fir
She chooses a staff and gets one for me
And off we walk... to the very next tree
Once again she looks to the ground
And picks up a feather, the third she has found
Her curious nature finally appeased
On we walk to yet another tree
She uproots the leaves and twigs
And then she finds a little bug
She crouched down to scoop it up
However, I take over to save our little friend
From being squashed by excitable hands
Instead he\'s placed upon my palm
And I show my daughter to be careful and not harm
The moment is gone and off she walks
Past the next tree, \'yay\' I thought!
But then she stops and turns around
Looking at the tree and hearing the sounds
A robin is singing, I think for a date
Hoping it will turn into his next mate
But my daughter just stares enthralled with it all
Until a squirrel runs by and she squeaks and then points.
A walk in the woods with my daughter is cool
We don\'t get very far but then she\'s not even two!
