Sound of the Future

PAD Challenge day 6: For today’s prompt, write a poem about a sound.

Busy day-care day today, so for all the glorious ways this prompt could flow they are not mine for now:) oh...wow! They're here!!! early today.

 With cheerful chatter

And pitter- patter

And freckle-splattered nose

With teddy bears

And teeny cares

And running shoes that glow

With darling grins

And dimpled chins

And wonder, full and free

Our children grow

Their future, oh,

Is up to you and me

The sound of something more

Than dash and dance and play and run

Is passing through our doors;

It is the people they’ll become
