Analysis of Thru Deaf Ears...
Robert Catron 1963 (Kansas)
Have you ever wondered what a deaf person can hear,
Could we handle life if our hearing would just disappear.
Would we still like music - the movies - or cars,
Would we still have high hopes & reach for the stars.
Deaf peoples' spirits always seem to be so high,
It's like a powerful magic with a limitless ability to try.
I know I'm probably misunderstanding the world they live in,
For if I lost my hearing I wouldn't know where to begin.
I'm thankful to the Lord that I can hear in every way,
For if I ever did lose my hearing - could I even make it thru one day?
