Meadows have surprises ,
You can find them if you look;
Walk softly through the velvet grass,
And listen by the brook.

You may see a butterfly
Rest upon a butterCUP
And unfold it's drinking straws
To sip the nectar up.

You may see rabbit
who is sitting very still;
Though at first you may not see him,
When he hops you will.

A dandelion whose fussy head
Was golden days ago
Has turned to airy parachutes
That flutter when you blow.

Explore the meadow houses,
The burrows in the ground,
The nest beneath tall grasses,
The ant's amazing mound.

Oh! Meadows have surprises
And many things to tell;
You may discover these yourself,
If you look and listen well.

Walk across a park, a green field or even under a clump of trees and you will notice many wonderful things.
A meadow has so much surprises for someone with a keen eye and a sharp ear.

Always smile ☺
