Nature's Wonder Band

Listen my Children and you shall hear 
Of the whispered secrets far and near 
The silent tunes of this mystic land 
A story of Nature’s Wonder Band… 

Looking out my window 
To the gray cloudy sky 
Hopeful to see birds flying by 
Rain pounds the glass 
The roof 
And the ground 
But down on the grass 
A small cricket is found. 
Somewhere in the distance 
A croak comes along, 
Cold breeze to which I tense 
Adding to the song 

I listen to the beat 
A beautiful rhythm 
Tap my feet 
And begin to hum 

As I add to the music 
Of this dismal wintry land 
I finally decide to join 
Nature’s Wonder Band
