Kids in Nature

From the very beginning

in the journey of parenting,

I wanted harmony

between,

the children and nature,

and stuck to that philosophy.

Kids were taken to the open,

and introduced,

to flora and fauna,

their roles and relations,

and our place there.

I taught them to sense,

the diverse stimuli,

and spectacles,

nature has to offer,

the smell of acacia,

chirps of finches,

the tangerine sunsets.

It sure is the right path,

for they are growing,

healthy, and happy,

curious, and confident,

in body and mind,

staying close to,

appreciating, and respecting,

the natural world.
