Poem - My Ears Can't Hear

Why don't I hear you?

My ears can't hear.
But my mind can race!
Learning and thinking and knowing.

My ears can't hear.
But my eyes can see!
Colors and movements and feelings.

My ears can't hear.
But my nose can smell!
Coffee and flowers and the sea!

My ears can't hear.
But my lips can taste!
Chocolate and kisses and wine.

My ears can't hear.
But my fingers can fly!
Touching and drawing and signing.

My ears can't hear.
But my heart can sing!
Joys and dreams and memories.

I ask you:
Why don't you hear me?
