(9/23/14) <br /> <br />Born deaf and not a sound to be heard <br />Sign language was her only words <br />Longing to hear any sound at all, even the bouncing of a ball <br />To know what it would be like to hear a robin sing <br />And the sounds of early spring. <br />She learned to read lips and could feel the vibrations of musical sounds. <br />The sensitivity in her fingers had gotten so good <br />That the music she understood. <br />She found that the guitar vibrations she could feel more <br />And it opened up a brand new door. <br />Her mother saw the joy that the guitar did bring <br />So she bought a guitar with everything. <br />The amplified speakers did rock the floor <br />Even through her closed door. <br />She learned to play guitar and write music too <br />And showed the other children just what to do. <br />Soon afterwards she created a band in the <br />SCHOOL FOR THE DEAF and showed others that there is no such thing <br />As HANDICAPPED, and that only happens when you turn your back. <br /> HOPE, FAITH, LOVE<br /><br />louis rams<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/no-such-thing-as-handicapped/
