Blind and Deaf
Blind and Deaf
To never see the world
to never hear a sound
always having
to feel my way around
To never see my mother
father or brother
to never hear them say a word
is like hanging for life, on the thinnest cord
To never hear my voice
to never see my face
is like living
without a trace
For me
nothing is ever clear
the world is filled
with darkness and fear
What is the sunset?
I do not know
for in my world, it will never show
What is music?
how does it sound?
it's something in my world
I've never found
and, never will
My world is silent, and always black
but courage is something, I do not lack
On my heart, lies a wish that's true
wishing to see the world, as clear as you.
Authors note: Just a reminder of how precious our sight and hearing is. It is truly a
wondrous gift, we must all be thankful for ......In honor of Helen Keller.......Always Maryam
