The Sounds of Home

Home                    
                   Children laugh and play 
                 Pop, pop, the popcorn is ready
               Waaa, waaa baby needs her bottle 
              Bark, bark the puppy needs to go outside 
             Click, click, click daddy works on the computer 
          Sizzle, sizzle, pop, pop mommy is cooking dinner 
               Bam, bam, bam brother plays the drums 
               Tip,  tap, whirl sister is practicing a dance 
               The leaves rustle outside in the backyard 
               Ho hum, mommy yawns, it’s time for bed 
               Thump, brother falls on his knees to pray 
               Shhhh, quiet now my child it’s time to sleep 
               Muah a goodnight kiss for all the children  
               ZZZZZZ  the family is all snug in their beds
