A Lesson Learned

On a bright sunny day She wants to take a walk In the nature path She wants to spend the night Sleeping in the forest All the needed gear packed The trail is a narrow pass Makes it hard for walking Yet onward she walks on Onto the forest trail She notices the trail narrows She keeps walking forward As she continues on Making it harder to walk With her gear she carries Enjoying the sounds of nature She stops to rest and listen Then continues walking Through the forest pass way As she walks further on Now she is very tired She wants to slumber yet she decides this is not right Even though the scenery changed She decided to return home She stumbled in the woods Tripping,falling, on logs Going up hills and downwards She told herself it was enough I will take shorter walks now In the wooded areas She learned her lesson

Lovely poem, Darlene, we all go out with great expectations, a nice shorter walk in a nice wooded area nearer to home sounds best to me, hope you are keeping well . . . : )
