A SILENT WORLD

What would the world be without sound?

Could you find contentment in silence?

Would you miss the voice of the land?

Would you survive with no conversation?

The sound of the wind shuffling the leaves.

The background song of a rushing river.

The warble of a magpie greeting a new day.

The bleating of a lamb, the lowing of a cow.

The sounds of sweet music to soothe your soul.

The bark of a dog, the purr of a cat.

A slamming door, a car horn.

The ring of a telephone, the call of wild geese.

The calming crackle of a fire in the hearth.

Did you hear your babies first cry when forced from the womb?

Could you live without the laughter of your children,

Or their urgent cry when something goes awry?

The tenderness in your partner's voice.

Welcome to the deaf persons world.
