The Sound Of Music

Listening to the soft melodious sounds my mind drifts to a
time when I was young and carefree.
I see a falling leaf, as it blows gently in the wind, never to
be seen again as it lands on the ground.
I watch a bird taking flight to the sky, how graceful it
flys disappearing out of sight.

I sit here by the window in my rocking chair.
The sound of music filling the air.
I start to nod off, peaceful and content.
If all my days like this could be spent.

A kitten in my lap, a puppy by my
side.
As I feel there movement, I put my
hands on each of them, petting them
gently, loving them.

I wish the music would never end,
and this day would last forever.
Sitting by the window in my rocking
chair. Listing to the sound of music
filling the air.
