[Vision2020] Nature Trail

Nature Trail
 
by Benjamin Zephaniah

At the bottom of my garden 
There's a hedgehog and a frog 
And a lot of creepy-crawlies 
Living underneath a log, 
There's a baby daddy long legs 
And an easy-going snail 
And a family of woodlice, 
All are on my nature trail. 

There are caterpillars waiting 
For their time to come to fly, 
There are worms turning the earth over 
As ladybirds fly by, 
Birds will visit, cats will visit 
But they always chose their time 
And I've even seen a fox visit 
This wild garden of mine. 

Squirrels come to nick my nuts 
And busy bees come buzzing 
And when the night time comes 
Sometimes some dragonflies come humming, 
My garden mice are very shy 
And I've seen bats that growl 
And in my garden I have seen 
A very wise old owl. 

My garden is a lively place 
There's always something happening, 
There's this constant search for food 
And then there's all that flowering, 
When you have a garden 
You will never be alone 
And I believe we all deserve 
A garden of our own.
