Read the poem You Never Hear the Garden Grow by Lilian Moore
Row on row,
you never hear the garden
grow.

Seeds split.
Roots shove and reach.
Earth heaves.

Leaves unfurl.
Stems pierce the
ground.

Pea pods fatten.
Vines
stretch and curl.

Such growing 
going on
without a sound.

If you ever, ever, ever
meet a grizzly bear,
You must never, never, never

He is going,
Or what he is doing;
For if you ever, ever dare
To stop a grizzly bear,
You will never
Meet another grizzly bear.
