What’s in the backyard for you to see
There’s nothing but green grass in front of me
then close your eyes and open your ears
listen closely and envision what you hear
do you hear the squeaky voice of a squirrel
I hear him chewing on acorns and giving them a whirl
is that a blue jay in the tree I hear
or a chirping bird that’s filling the air
perhaps it’s a songbird can you tell who she is
her song gives her away
and lets you know she’s not a Bluejay
listen carefully an orchestra is tuning up
crickets and frogs Together erupt
The backyard is full of life that’s around
Take a few moments and listen to it sounds
