Don't Let It Be A Memory
My Prayer

Angel Praying Small

When song birds twirl their good morning songs
Awakening life from love nests high in their tree
Let me hear their joy in distance far away but
Please God just don't let it be a memory

Praying Hands
When my grandchild's coos and chatters
Turn into first words and questions many be
Let me hold him close to catch each word but
Please God just don't let it be a memory
Praying Hands
When music plays and someone's singing
Songs of yesteryear so dear to me
Let me strain, let me dance and sing along but
Please God just don't let it be a memory

Praying Hands
When loved one's are gathered and
Laughter and good talk are flowing freely
Let me join in and share their happiness but
Please God just don't let it be a memory

Praying Hands
When the one I love whispers "I love you"
As he holds me in his arms so tenderly
Let me hear the sweet words and my own but
Please God just don't let it be a memory

Praying Hands
When strangers with lack of understanding are
Impatient from the streams of "pardon me"
Let me humbly say it one more time but
Please God just don't let it be a memory

Praying Hands
When all the sounds of beauty in this life
Have quieted to their lowest note for me
Let me be spared what little I have left but
Please God just don't let it be a memory

I dedicate this poem to the countless others like myself who share the world of the hearing impaired.
Each faded sound rings like music in our ears in just the joy of being able to hear it at all.
Hearing loss in any degree can be devastating and humiliating in a world of misquided people who do not understand and take it seriously.
With love and patience and the help of fine tuned man made ears many of us can lead fulfilling and sound enriched lives.
We share the fear of losing even just that little bit more that could take us into a world of total silence.
