I wrote this for a very special little girl who wanted to be able to talk to everyone.
PRAYER OF A DEAF CHILD




Dear Heavenly Father Up Above
I pray for peace, joy, and love.
I pray for friends to soon understand
I can't understand them without their hands.

In my world the hands are the voice
Unfortunately, I have no choice.
I hear by fingers spelling out names
Hand shapes and gestures give rules to my games.

My world is centered in total silence
When I need help I pray for Your guidance.
To You I can speak without voice or hands
Because through Your power, I know You understand.

Those who take time to learn my language
Don't understand that they give me the advantage.
So please Dear Father up above
Also give them peace, joy, and love.
