The Sweet Sound of Songs

The sweet sound of songs
Is pleasing to the ears; 
Lyrics are played over again
For days, months, and years.

The sweet sound of music
Brings back the hands of time; 
List'ning to the same old lines
Recorded in the mem'ry of rhyme.

The sweet sound of hymns
Is truly great to the brain; 
Making you forget pessimistic mind, 
To think positive during the rain.

The sweet sound of sonata
Is refreshing to the lovers of music; 
It really replenishes the soul, 
Be it a ballad, pop, jazz or classic.

The sweet sound of melody
Enhances the family hour of bonding; 
Cheerfully singing the chorus, 
With voices of harmony and blending.

The sweet sound of lullabies
Can help you fall asleep; 
To regain the lost strength, 
Then rise with a promise to keep.

The sweet sound of verses
Can teach you a lesson or two; 
Making you a much better person
Who thinks twice what to say or do.

Sing the symphony of love, 
Hear the rhythm - short or long; 
The heartwarming wave of phrases
Makes the sweet sound of songs.
