Brynn


I have a neice, so sweet and so small.

She can't hear the world yet,

but one day she will.

What would it be like,

to not hear the world?

No vulgar and vain sounds,

no crudeness or lightness.

I bet that she does hear

the most precious of all,

the sweet little whisper

of the Lord, "I love you."

I want to be more like Brynn

and stop listening to the world,

instead I want to listen,

to the sweet simple whispers.

Funny you mention that. I just heard a story from a mom who swears Deaf people are closer to the Lord for that reason. Sometimes I think it would be nice to live in a quiet world, too.

PS Thanks for thinking of us.
