The Magic of Listening

In a world so bright and full of sound,
There are whispers and giggles all around!
When you listen closely, what do you hear?
The rustling leaves, or a friend drawing near?

Like the tiny ant marching in a line,
Or the gentle breeze that makes the trees shine.
Listening is magic, it helps us learn,
So open your ears, it’s your turn!

With every sound, a story unfolds,
In the world of wonders, let your heart be bold!
So let’s listen together, you and me,
To the beautiful sounds of our big, wide sea!
