| Do you know that in my yard
The robins begin chirping as early as 4:14 A.M.?!
One robin is telling the one in the next yard
To stay on his own side of the fence.
They chirp back and forth each having his own
Pattern of chirps.
Chirp, chirp: chirp, chirp, chirp: chirp,
And on and on using sets of different chirps to
Communicate with each other.
When you are awake at 4:14 in the morning
Sometimes counting helps you to go back to sleep
If you are unlucky enough never to be awake at
4:14 in the morning
And listening,
You'll miss their glorious songs.
Sort of like missing God speaking to you
In the quiet of a new day.
Listen! J.B. 7/12/02 Portland, OR.
Love Mom
