Bells ring to give signals and calls, Like the ones placed at school halls; They ring for students to fall in line, On flag ceremonies, recess and dismissal time. Huge bells ring loudly at churches’ towers, Calling everyone to go for prayers; Small ones are heard inside during masses, To commune, sing and kneel at adoration hours. They're also used for ornaments and displays, Especially on great event like Christmas day; Shining brightly on every Christmas tree, To glorify and highlight Jesus Christ’s birthday. There are bells placed at our house doors, Giving signals for the coming visitors; They ring constantly down the roads Calling children to buy ice creams from vendors. They ring many times to give signals and calls, On games, queues, rules…some are wedding symbols; Sounds may either be deafening, musical or pleasant, Bells invite, count time, announce arrivals and triumphant.

Len, beautifully written. Bells are sounded on various occasions. You have covered quite a few. "They ring constantly down the roads Calling children to buy ice creams from vendors".... ! You have taken me to my childhood days. How excited we were to hear those bells. Congratulations on your win.

Len, you have so beautifully written about the music of bells in our lives. From school bells, to doorbells to sacred worship bells to games and wedding bells. I don't think I realized how many bells are a part of our daily lives until reading your delightful poem that "rings" with delight. Congratulations on your win! Blessings of Advent to you! Two candles to go!
