Time to collect sticks and slimy stones from forest stream.
To bandage boo-boos, kiss my childrens’ playtime injuries.
Time to spread knowledge; a patient gardener sowing seeds.
To keep the fingers dancing, a week-long writing jamboree.
To everything, a season emerges for all I want and need.

Aw, this was such a lovely tribute to playtime in the woods. Plenty of happy childhood memories here! 🙂

Thank you. I also remember my outside play fondly. I still prefer the outdoors. So glad my children also love frolicking in the forest, so I can continue to build fairy houses and see sticks and slimy stones as sacred treasures. 💜

Wonder how much class I can get away with outdoors. The ones that take place after dark may be challenging. 😂 Thank you for commenting and reading, Jim.
