Nature's Way

A poem about how Mother Nature looks after us and provides for us every step of the way (final version)

Hi, I’m Sue and I write about the beauty and ingenuity of Nature, and how we can deepen our connection for our optimum health and wellbeing. Discover more Nature-inspired content on Spiral Leaf, Twitter and my video Nature Channel.

Mother Nature nurtures us in a myriad of ways;

Through every stage of growth, through every night, through every day;

Without a thought from us, not in any conscious way;

As Mother Nature gives us all we need and never strays.

As an unborn, growing in the warmth of Mother’s womb;

An exquisite work of art, a seed inside a warm cocoon;

Mother Nature nourishes, protecting us from harm;

There to stimulate, to soothe, to cosset and to calm.

As an infant, vulnerable, in need of tender loving care;

Mother Nature lulls and pulses life through every cell;

Growing bones for movement, neurons for awareness of the world;

A baby learns at speed, deciphering life as it unfurls.

As a toddler, beaming light with untamed boundless energy;

Full of wonder, awe, excitement, curiosity and empathy;

Mother Nature is a stage for making real-life magical fantasies;

Rich ground for our imagining, discovering and learning to be free.

As a child through youth, life’s twists and turns come rapidly;

So many paths to knowing who we are and who we want to be;

Mother Nature gives us space to see things as they are with clarity;

Grounding us in truth to help us live our lives in unity.

I completed a final edit on this poem on 1 January 2025 and continue to thank you for being here, for your love, humility and friendship, and for your love for Nature.

I look forward to seeing you again soon.

Xx
