The Sound of Silene

THE SOUND OF SILENCE


To me the sound of silence is like seeing and hearing dreams. It is like praying. It is like thinking something about my life.

I think about my family because I haven’t seen them for a long time. I have a big family: my wife and three sons and one daughter and my mother and my father.

Also, I worry about the United States economy. It is hard for me to get a job to pay my rent and take care of my family in Africa, in Senegal.

Also, they are thinking about me. When I close my eyes, I see them.
