Sweet Voice

Sweet voice arose to withered ear
Breaking through the void of silence.
Beautiful sounds of vocal chord
Flows gently out to distance.

Sweet voice that speaks in childish tone
Seeks to reach, seeks reply.
Heard by others deep in night
Voice of love and laughter drawing nigh.

Sweet voice of time and graying hair
Sounds of wisdom fill empty space.
Looking for a welcome ear
To share the time that time erased.

Sweet voice one day and gone the next
Laid to rest in memories deep.
Breaking through in minds of rest
Flows gently in the voice of sleep.
