The first sound I hear each morning comes from a rooster. He lives nearby and I look forward to hearing his ‘cock a doodle doo’ each morning. He lets me know all is well with him and that makes me happy.

The beautiful sound I hear a little bit later each morning comes from a tiny wren sitting on the fence next to the window.
The little wren’s song is beautiful and starts my day off with one of the most beautiful sounds in all of nature.
How can one not feel joy while hearing the song of the wren?
The rooster and the wren sound so much better than an alarm clock.
“Glory, glory, said the Bee, Hallelujah, said the Flea. Praise the Lord, remarked the Wren. At springtime all is born-again.“
