Protected in the Wild - Day 7

Deepinside the forest
Whereeven light treads with care
Aretwo young boys, carefree and happy
Awayfrom the worries of the vast world
Friends,brothers, and partners in silly crimes
Theylaugh, giggle, and play with abandon
Untilmud streaks cover their bodies
Makingit impossible to see who is who
Thelittle brains spark with an idea
Thesounds of the rushing brook
Thechill of the cool, clean water
Ananswer to their biggest trouble yet
Wash, scrub, and pour – the bath begins
Asnature laughs in delight
Protectingthe innocent smiles
Atleast until they stay in her care

Brief Backstory: Kids, forests, and nature bring such positivity and innocence. One look at the picture, and I knew I had to use it for my poem.
