Proud of the Parenting Way

It feels right

I am proud of many things,

parenting so far is one of them.

I did not put any chemicals on the kids,

coconut oil is the only cosmetic, I’ve used.

I didn’t take them to temples,

but every day, I lead them on nature walks.

I teach them sustainability,

as we forage seasonal fruits,

and help them in flora and fauna identity,

in our lives, there’s no place for vanity.

I teach them about inflammation,

the risks of processed foods,

chemical preservative hazards.

We make traditional savories,

like lemon pickles, rice crackers,

and they watch me prepare,

they assist, they learn,

they shadow me in the garden.

It feels good, I know in my gut,

leading them to future, going right.

I am Seema. I contribute to PubMed, Blogger, Medium, LinkedIn, Substack, Amazon KDP, Vocal Media.

I write on nature, health, parenting, creativity, gardening, social issues.
