Poem Title:
Poem
I sit in a playground There are children playing I close my eyes and I listen I can hear The tinkering of toys The roar of boys The laughter from girls As each of them twirls I love sounds the sounds in life I sit in a restaurant There are many people eating I close my eyes and I listen I can hear Friends and families talking And the waiters walking I can hear forks, spoons and knifes being used And babies laugh as they are amused I can hear chewing and burping And sipping and slurping I love sounds the sounds in life I come to a park It is a beautiful day I lay down, close my eyes, and listen I can hear The birds in the air fluttering and chirping And the dogs are aware prancing and barking The squirrels that run, up and down trees And the constant buzzing of honey-comb bees The gushes of wind that whip and whistle And the waves of water that splutter and ripple I love the sounds in life I sit at my desk in my house My family is together I close my eyes and I listen I can hear The rambling from the TV And the laughs from my sister who is filled with glee I hear the taps on the keyboard from my busy father And the steams from the iron from my working mother I love my family I love the sounds in life Too many times I take for granted My ability to hear which I have never doubted But then I realize some are not as fortunate And don't have the ability as if it was taken by a bandit I feel sad that they cannot they hear And I quite often shed a tear But there is nothing I can do Except, Making sure that everyday I am thankful That I can hear everything I love, The sounds in life ©
