Have you ever been a walking with a strolling child.
As they meander here and there until they fall behind.
To focus on a prize you missed just lying on the ground.
Maybe something small, so pleased with what they found.
To show with pride a little frog just found sitting the grass.
You, so busy in your world, dismissed and strode on to pass.
As we mature we lose sight of wonders of our world around.
In our self proclaimed busy bubble devoid of natures sounds.
A Walk with Kath was worth the time !
A chance for me to see what she could see.
You too, have in your midst others just the same.
Sharing such enthusiasm, you get it all for free.
A walk with Kath is like that with a child.
Everything worth looking at, excitingly wild.
Every aspect of the simple has an open view.
Natural beauty that may have escaped you.
Be it a Bird Sound, Plant or Silhouette in the dark.
Heightened antennae exposed, will light your spark.
Though the meandering trip may take a while.
By the end, your face and being will hold a smile.
Because people like Kath see the bland so grand.
Take the rush out of your step, you will understand.
Mind of a child, young and older have so much to teach.
The beauty of earth to embrace is within all of our reach.
