Deaf doesn't mean I'm not aware Of the way things really are. Deaf doesn't mean I'm to be left out Or that in life I can't go far. Deaf doesn't mean I can't live in A hearing world different from mine, Deaf doen't mean I can't contribute My part in helping Mankind. Deaf doesn't mean I don't dream Of hopes for better tomorrows. Deaf doen't mean we can't be friends Working together to alleviate sorrows. Deaf doesn't mean describe a personality Each makes an individual claim Being deaf is like snowflakes No two are the same. Being deaf means we look for other ways To compensate for ears that don't hear, And often we ask to borrow yours If a hurdle too high appears. Don't let ears that don't work frighten you It just takes a little time. Your effort to know and learn is appreciated Communication takes many forms Smile, gestures and art And this says you won't judge by our ears. You'll wait till you know our heart.
