Deaf

I am deaf.

I am deaf,

But -

I can hear

The smiles of

Children

Playing so eagerly.

I can hear

The thoughts of

Business

Cold and calculating.

I can hear

The old man

Singing

About his memories.

Most of all

I can hear

You -

Crying in whispers

When I see

The

Big, gloomy eyes

You show to

Us -

My dear friend

Do not hide

It

Because I may

Not

Hear your woes

But I can

Listen.
