Enjoying Nature – Ignoring the Weather
Melding with nature is marvelous.
Being there with friends was fabulous.
Planning using common sense.
Times treasured, not tense.
Traveling through terrific terrain.
We disregarded insects and rain.
Nothing would stop us.
Mutual respect, a plus.
Irrespective of the weather, we went.
Ignoring the time, we were not spent.
Lots of snacks to eat.
Savory and sweet.
As was our custom, we vanished for hours.
Our plastic hoodies held off rain showers.
Huddled together.
Snubbing the weather.
One Saturday in May, we did get lost.
Three different signals got crisscrossed.
Do we ask for help?
Could we yell and yelp?
We agreed to back track to the start.
We knew, to keep safe, don’t be apart.
What plants did we see?
Which structures were key?
Two hours later, we found our village.
No one knew about the thrilling roam.
New skills for our trips.
Equipped for hardships.
Older now, we continue to walk.
Enjoying nature, a time to talk.
Forever friends.
Soggy or muddy.
