In my backyard, so bright,  
A thrasher hops, pure delight.  
With a curve upon its bill,  
It digs and scratches, what a thrill!  

Curious eyes, a lively spark,  
Exploring soil, it leaves its mark.  
Each little leap, a joyful dance,  
In the garden, it takes a chance.  

Uncovering treats, oh what a find,  
Nature's treasures, sweet and kind.  
With every peck, my heart takes flight,  
In this moment, all feels right.  

A simple joy, so close to me,  
In the Thrasher's song, I feel free.  
Thank you, bird, for your sweet cheer,  
Reminding me that joy is near.
