Sitting in the café,
Just drinking our coffee,
And there it came,
That sound,
That sound that brings pleasure,
Brings so much pleasure to all.
You just can’t help smiling
As the sound abounds,
The sound of young children,
Young children laughing.

- Comment from author about the poem: Sitting in our Coffee Shop drinking our coffee my wife and I heard two children laughing their heads off while they were playing. I wrote this poem at the table and gave a copy to the two mums of the children, they were both pleased about this. It is just something I do sometimes and it seems to give others pleasure if I write for them at the time.

Good write G/F. Shall I do that too? Shall I sing it too, and scare them off?! heehee.
They would only laugh more.
Nice capture GF. It is indeed a lovely sound.
Thank you Frank.
A wonderful and very kind thing to do is write and give copies to others - those Mums will treasure the words inspired by their laughing children at play.
Thank you Fay, I do it fairly often, normally to friends and family but sometimes to strangers and it always seems to please them.
I'm proud of you
So kind Paul, thank you.
YOU ARE GREAT ANDY ~ BECAUSE YOU ARE A spontaneous Action Poet ! You write what you see ~ and see what you write ! You then share it on MPS and on the street ~ OMG reminds me of Noggin the Nog and "Tales of the Norseland" At the end of the day (in Norway) they all sat round the fire and took turns to recite the happenings of the day in VERSE. I adore NORWAY it is mystical and magical ~ Thanks for being YOU ~ BRIAN !
You've found me out Brian! I am very much a "Spontaneous Action Poet". That is why I always have a notebook in my pocket, I never know when the muse will attack me. Thank you for your kind words.
Ah - I go all soft when I hear them - brings a smile.
It always does, the sound of such innocence is wondrous.
I may have said it before on MPS but I always want to smile and say hello to the little ones but am afraid to do so any more - a sad reflection on our society .
it's our children we should love the most. it's a good moment in life, it's about joy and giggles all the way. brilliantly written and thanks for sharing the love we all have when we here a child laugh or giggling.
Thanks Kevin, much appreciated.
The embodiment of the future, its hopes and its dreams. Nicely done.
Thank you Nicholas I do hope the future for them is good.
Just got back from Newcastle
And that was the first sound
I heard, my grandchildren are
Staying at our house whilst
My daughters house is being
Renovated... lovely poem !!!!
Grandchildren are wonderful. Thank you.

Great poem!!!
Their laughter is one of the reasons why I love so much to hang around my toddler grand-children.
Thanks Fred, aren't they wonderful.
My apartment overlooks a courtyard with pool. I enjoy hearing the children play. Your gesture was loving. Parents love it when kids are appreciated.
Thanks Augustus, they certainly do appreciate it.
