What Would I Do?
(Tribute to all our deaf and hearing impairment people)

If I could,
Hear your voices
Asking me, “which would I choose”?
I would, tell you my choices
If I could,
I would, sing you a song every day
But, only in the month of May
If I could,
I would, hear my child’s voice singing,
Her nursery rhymes, while swinging on her swing
I know,
Our creator has plans for me
I would, hear songs of “Alleluia”
Waiting in heavens for me
I know,
My intuitions let’s me,
Hear my child’s cries
I would, dry my child’s eyes
If I could,
While my child is at his dorm
I would, be chatting up a storm,
Making him smile
If I could,
Hear the radio playing
I would, be voicing my opinions
For better politicians
If I could,
Hear sweet singing of our morning doves
I would, be paying forwards,
My love
In return thousand more days of loving
I know that’s what I would do.
