Do you know I love you? <br />I say it every day. <br />A hundred times out loud to you, <br />I say it every day. <br /> <br />I hold you, <br />Kiss your forehead, <br />It doesn’t seem enough. <br />Do you know how much I love you. <br />I love you very much. <br /> <br />I wish that you could hear me. <br />I wish that I could tell, <br />If I am getting to you, <br />Through that silence where you dwell. <br /> <br />My heart pounds so loudly, <br />When all is still at night. <br />I get trapped there in the darkness, <br />Sinking further from the light. <br /> <br />Do you know I love you? <br />I still don’t know. <br />I just can’t tell. <br />I’ll hold you until you feel it. <br />Until you know it well. <br /> <br />I’m so sorry little baby. <br />I want to help you. <br />I don’t know how. <br />I do everything I can, <br />It’s just not enough some how. <br /> <br />It’s so hard for me to show it, <br />I’m so frightened all the time. <br />I’m so frightened for you, baby. <br />Mommy’s here for you my child. <br /> <br />Do you know how much I love you? <br />I would like to think you do. <br />I just wish on all my wishes, <br />That you could say it too. <br /> <br />I know you know I love you. <br />You know I love you too. <br />I’ll hold you through the silence. <br />Please hold me through it too.<br /><br />Roxanne Morris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/my-little-deaf-baby/
