Seeing and Hearing

No human voices or songs from a bird
For him nothing could be heard 
No skies of blue or fields of green 
For her nothing could be seen 

Every noise be it cheer or jeer 
For him he could hear 
Everything all around whatever it may be
For her she could see

The difference is so painfully clear
Sight and sound we should hold dear
I am thankful to have both of these 
Ears that hear and eyes that sees
