My Ears Can'T Tell Me, But My Heart Can!

My Ears Can't Tell Me, But My Heart Can!


My ears can't tell me 
but my heart can!
I talk with God

My ears can't tell me
What God says
because
I am deaf
How can I receive
His answers?
My heart can tell me!

My ears can't tell me
how
beautiful music
is about God
People think 
I miss the best part
of sounds,
but
my heart sings to me
I never really miss
the beautiful music
in my life...

My ears do not seem
important to me
because
God make  me deaf
God taught me
to listen
to my heart,
mind and eyes are
most important
to me
because I can feel
and hear from my heart,
God sends his words,
promises, answers,
and music to my heart,
I am listening
to my heart
because
my ears can't tell me
but my heart can!

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
