Favorite Sounds

The first loud cries of a newborn baby

Toddler composed songs

Winter silence

Springtime birds in the morning

Crickets in the evening at midsummer

Locusts and owls at midnight, late summer

The screech of a beginning musician

Singing at the kitchen sink

Giggles at a funeral

Sobs at a wedding

The turnover of a cranky engine

Epic soundtracks at mundane times

Ancient acoustics

Your children are like you

And they are wonderful

Here’s coffee and milk

You are welcomed
