I wake from my nap when I sense movement
What is going on beyond the window?
I must go see what is outside!
Oh, how the sun shines through the garden
Making it come alive
I must go see what is outside!
The trees are swaying in the breeze
The flowers are fluttering along
I must go see what is outside!
Ah! A beetle scuttles into his log
Ready to escape the garden’s activity
I must go see what is outside!
A glimpse of blue catches my eye
When the songbird rests on a branch
I must go see what is outside!
The clouds are marching away from me
Only the sun is left to caress the garden
I must go see what is outside!
Wait . . . something is happening now
My human walks to the door and reaches for the knob
I must go see what is outside!
As the door opens and the fresh air rushes in
I leap out and land softly on the grass . . .
Finally, I am outside.
