The Gift of Hearing

Hershey D. Ronario

The ticking of the clock is waking me up

“The breakfast is ready!” my mom calls at me
I looked outside, the weather is nice
I picked up my kite and headed to the park

The humming of the birds sitting on a tree

The children’s laughter, so happy and free
The voice of people passing by
The strumming of guitar by a singing guy

These are the sounds I hear around

Some are soft, some are loud
God gave me a pair of ears
A wonderful gift so I can hear
