Poem I wrote in 7th grade

"Music of Our Lives"

A gentle whisper,
A shout of joy,
The sound of a proposal by a boy.

A harsh slap,
An infant's cry,
A mother's scream with a tear in her eye.

A shot fired,
A siren coming to assist,
The breath of a man wishing this event, he had missed.

Screams of pain,
Sighs of relief,
A smack upon a baby's cheek.

All of these noises in one combined
Make a never-ending opera.
The music of today;
The music of our lives.
