Sing a Song of Robins

I awoke this morning to the joyful chatter of Robins outside my window. I have been more aware of the songs that fill the air lately. I took the kids on a silent walk to the park to write poetry a couple of weeks ago. The goal was to listen for sounds of life and then write about them. I heard many different songs that birds sing. From the trees as we passed to quieter, more distant calls. I am positive that they have always been here, but why am I more cognizant recently of these joyous creatures?
