Listen!

Silence is when you can hear things.

Listen…

To the fairies fluttering in the air.

To the frogs tiptoeing on the lilly pads.

To the doves swooping in the night.

To the horses snorting after running down the hill.

To the fireflies gliding in the wind.

Silence is when you can hear things.

Listen…

To the spider stalking its prey

To the dew dropping from a leaf.

To the ants sneezing on a stone.

To the butterfly whispering to the beetle.

Listen!

Silence is when you can hear things.

Listen…

To the stick insect stalking his prey.

To the grasshopper bounding in the wavy grass.

To the ants  scampering across the log.

To the crickets humming every minute.

To the spiders creeping up the vine.

Silence is when you can hear things.

Listen…

To the ladybirds tiptoeing on the flower.

To the rain pattering on the roof.

To the butterflies whispering to each other.

To the eels slipping between the rocks.

To the caterpillars arguing about who is going to be the best butterfly.
