A P o e m :
Nature Therapy is finding calm through our senses.
It is feeling rooted to the present moment, and to each other.
It uses the simplicity that the Earth has always given us.
Nature Therapy helps kids find their strength, voice,
and belonging to a greater ecosystem.
Nature therapy teaches children that by getting outside,
we can tune in to our thoughts and feelings.
It is swinging high to the sky, and crawling low in the grass.
Through it, we strengthen our muscles, and our hearts.
The wind keeps us flexible,
the rain reminds us we can always dance,
the snow brings us wonder,
the sun brings us gratitude,
and the birds remind us that the best songs are sung by them.
Nature therapy reminds us there is an easier way;
it allows children to nurture themselves,
and to celebrate the things that they can do.
