Dawn

Delightful; that's the sound of a baby laughing

Radiant like the sky's giant glowing orb shining

Echoes of it, waking you quick in the morning

Although peculiar if you are alone living

Drastically, that's why I woke up so early

For I have no baby, I know it sounds crazy

Untimely, the laughs turned to cries very quickly

Like horrible wails; the sound of something deadly
