Family Hike
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
A new path yet of a familiar kind -
Like many other pathways in its wake,
Dad, look for markers that fill up your mind -
hints of how to return without mistake.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
With care, watch out for snakes and noxious weeds
while engaging this resourceful treasure.
Mom, teach your child to know the plants and seeds,
to show gentle respect for each creature.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Walk this path with care for discovery;
use your sense of smell with your ears and eyes.
Child, stockpile your mind for recovery;
find out what secrets this fresh trail supplies.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
