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!

Thanks Laura. Every trip is such an adventure
You’re welcome!

GOOD AFTERNOON SC - Thnaks for a very beautiful account of a 2-year old daughter - walking with her Dad in the Woods. We have several 2-year old in our Church (Boys & Girls) and they are most delightful & inquistive & trusting ! We cant wait to be parents and pehaps by 2023 / 2024 we will have a 2-year old of our very own. Thanks for a delightful glimpse of the future - AMEN !
Peace & Joy to You & Yours
Love Angela & Brian 💛💛💛
Wonderful write SC showing what the youngsters can show us in the search for wisdom in the natural world. If you keep walking with nature and with her the rewards will be astounding to you both.
