In love with a deaf girl
Invisible love
He could not pluck up courage
To ring or tell her
Not gutsy enough
To gather her in his arms
That stunning body
Routine for others
But he was floored by shyness
And the list went on
He grasped at straws
For loving words to stream out
He wasn’t the type
Luckily for him
She saw the look in his eyes
So then smiled at him
Little did he know
That words meant nothing to her
Signing was enough
This one left me a smile. Thank you :)
ReplyDeleteOh, so sweet!
ReplyDeleteSigns of all sorts..deafness of various types..takes one person to break the barriers I suppose..always a story to be found in your words :)
ReplyDeletenice....that age old battle
ReplyDeleteYou never disappoint! This one is such a sweet love story! Thank you!
ReplyDeleteLucky guy - he'll never have to wonder if he said the wrong thing!
ReplyDeleteA vivid story, easily understood and related to. Wordles are fun that way, they suggest all kinds of paths to follow until we choose one and do just that,

This is a heartwarming tale. Words will never be as important as what is in the eyes. They tell the real truth.
ReplyDeletefunny how the words fall into place for a good story!
ReplyDeleteI really like this. As Belva Rae says, heartwarming, and very romantic without being 'twee'. Well done the Rob!
ReplyDeleteOh .. I'm glad he sent out the right signs... really cool when it all came together.
ReplyDeleteI hadn't planned on the rearrangement of the word list... I guess they just fell that way. I don't get the early list, as I am not on Facebook, but another friend 'bumps' us the list...maybe they alphabetized them?
ReplyDeleteStories sometimes just tell themselves. I like how sometimes the shy person ends up winning. :)
my heart for a song
ReplyDeletethank you
what a sweet tale of love!
ReplyDeleteso happy the girl understood, not even needing his words...

Delightful. This had a special meaning for me as I have a profoundly deaf friend.
ReplyDeleteSometimes we don't need words, even when we able to talk...
ReplyDeleteThis is a beautiful poem.
ReplyDeleteI have a co-worker who fits this poem perfectly, Old Egg. Sorry for the late visit.
