The Doctor

The doctor came in with a smile that would light up a room She called me to come in the back with her She told my mother that she could wait All she needed to do was run a few tests I sat in the chair She put some things on my ear She said say yes if I could hear It was understood that I was going deaf I wanted so bad to cry I wondered what my friends would say Damn......I thought The doctor said "your not deaf, but you can use a hearing aid" I thought to myself "like thats really going to help, they aint gonna walk around with a girl with a big thing stickin out her ear" And for some reason the whole time she was talking she was smileing I thought what is this lady smileing for I hated it I told her I wasnt putting that thing in my ear She sat down with a case and opened it She pulled out abot 5 diffrent size hearing aids Some where small And others where big She showed me one that she thought was perfect for my ear I couldnt agreed more Then she said its diffrent colors We picked the one closer to my skin tone About a month later she called and said it was finally there I couldnt breathe I wondered "why me?" Here she comes with that smile and that cherry voice I went to her office And she explain everything to me We she was done I began to like her And by her smile I knew she liked me to Now I love to go to the ear doctor Because I know she'll be there with that smile Now I want to be an ear doctor thanks karen
