The Silence of the Deaf
The soft sound of a brook, the bark of a dog
Or the tone of his mothers loving voice
These he will never know or remember
In carrying this burden, he had no choice
His life is accompanied by silence
Each and every minute of the day
But I think he hears his own song
And has peace in his own special way
To find ourselves in perfect silence
Is something that has to be sought
To tune out life's noisy distractions
Perhaps a gift his deafness has brought
For the "silence" contest.....
