DEAFNESS: A GROWING PEACE

To: Lori, Janine, and Ron

6/5/2000

When going deaf there are great fears

The growing silence brings many tears

Fore as we hear - less and less

Our fear of silence is at its best.

People around - talking to and fro

For us the words come and go

Some days are better than others to hear

That is so frustrating - we bark at those dear.

Since I have been deaf my fears have fled

Replaced by a calmness and gentleness instead

As I walk each day with silence all around

I have a much greater peace I have found.

As you travel the path I have gone

Know in your heart you will hear a new song

One just as joyful as your days of ol'

That will bring a great peace to your very soul.
