Enchanting Sounds

Enchanting sounds of early spring A pleasant rain, when robins sing Children's laughter out on the street Friendly hellos from friends we meet Sunday morning when church bells ring. Sounds that encouraging smiles bring A teen band playing old-time swing The patter of tap-dancing feet, Enchanting sounds. So beautiful, like this one thing: Baby's laughter, or soft cooing, While bouncing in a jumper seat Many spring sounds are very neat, Hear silver chimes go ding-ding-ding Enchanting sounds.

Aw, that's so nice of you to say, Unseeking Seeker. I don't know. I'm going to try to do something really nice for Gina's contest. I'll just have to see what comes up.

'A pleasant rain, when robins sing.' Such a genuinely pure, sweet image, Milt! Kudos, Gershon
