A child's little giggle,
a baby's hearty cry.
Sound affects us,
as they drift by.
The chirping of a bird,
or barking of a dog.
The tooting of a ship's horn,
as it travels through the fog.
The rustle of the trees,
when a soft breeze blows.
The crunching under our feet,
as we walk across the snow.
A siren in the distance,
and the whistle of a train.
The noises of a storm,
thunder, lightning and rain.
Its amazing how sound affects us,
by entering our ears.
Settling our thoughts,
or awakening our fears.
