blessed are we!

I feel the blessing and thank thee

for there are few not as caressed as we

who aren't gifted enough to hear or read

to feel the pain or respond to glee

li'l care fails to suffice

they demand and yearn all the glare

the warmth, the care

a mother to understand the slightest despair

a hand to hold, a heart to mould

a voice to convey the screams of the soul

the unspoken gestures that fail to express

the keen desires difficult to suppress

unscathed lies the gift they seek,

the gift which wrapped the ability to speak ..

blessed are we!
