Garden Calmed the Baby
Garden improved mood of a nagging toddler
The toddler was sad.
I guess, he was overwhelmed.
He was nagging, bawling
making the weary parents
angry and triggered.
Parenting is exhausting.
We needed a relief
from this endless crying.
I took the baby
to the backayrd garden
and placed him near
the patch of nasturtiums.
It was magical —
the way he stopped,
and got himself engrossed
in checking the leaves,
listening to the birds.
The breeze was balm,
he turned calm.
His mood was no more foul
as if there is a,
harmony between
body, mind ad soul.
I saw evidence,
yet again,
that a garden
is indeed
a place of Zen.
Be it adult or kid,
we all are beneficiary
of this serene sanctuary.

Aww, so cute but babies are curious and likes colors of many hues and shades and the smells of the flowers would help sooth them as well. Good job, naturally.
