I wonder how it must be
To participate in life that way
Not able to hear the simple sounds
That most of us take for granted
It's strange that we don't consider
The sounds that we hear everyday
We go through life in a vacuum
Missing things that some can't enjoy
Observing those that need to cope
With disabilities of varied nature
Makes me realize my own behavior
Could be better with how I greet each day
We should not be concerned
About what we do not have
Instead we should be very grateful
For the things which we do
All our lives are different
In their own special way
We have to step back and observe
The qualities our life preserves
