"With Gratitude" - A Poem

You take me around and around
The places I thought were
Back of the hand familiar
But it's all different
So different now
You pause at the parts
That I would have raced past
And I get
In an instant
A gist
Of what I missed
For a lifetime
For myself
But for you
I can see
Something else
Thanks for that
Forever and ever
My gratitude goes
To you
For that

I'm not very outdoorsy. I don't mind physical exertion and I kind of like bugs. I guess if I had to put my finger on it, nature can be unpredictable and I like having a fair idea of what will happen next around me. My four year old loves being outside and maybe he's just good company but being outdoors is starting to grow on me. Better late than never, as they say.
