Shhh….

It can win you love
It can stop the war
It can bring you that toy
Or just help you bear it all

It can ruin your friendship
But may just make your marriage
You’d love to sleep with it every night
And let it reside in your heart
It visits at funerals
Or just watches the mother and her child

But it can be scary sometimes
Only thunder can be its rival
And for those million moments it fills
It gives them the gift of eternity

That’s the magic of silence
Wearing a new ensemble
And walking down the ramps of life
Never shocking, never revolting
But has a sweet twang of its own
And yes, watch out for it,
You may not hear it tip toe into your life!
