When our world seemed hushed
we heard some beautiful noise
with sounds of animals and cars
and hums of childlike joys
When our lives turned silent
we found a gentle voice
the voice had shapes and letters
and the language of toys
When our days were gray
we learned to make a choice
to add hues of songs and stories
and games of colorful rejoice
Thank you for helping us
discover the beauty in noise,
listen to the precious voice
and make this priceless choice
