Mother Nature deprived me of my voice, but compensated by giving me poetry.

MOTHER NATURE DEPRIVED ME OF MY VOICE

By Len A.Hynds

MYSELFMY OTHER SELF
To find a voice, the booklet said,
that must be something writers need.
I thought in truth my voice was dead.
So should I study and take heed?

So might I find one here instead?
I think a miracle I need,
To find a voice the booklet said.
Soaring freedom, with all speed.

Can it come back, once it has sped,
my shackled voice, its spirit freed.
To find a voice, the booklet said,
words with feeling, I sadly need.

I prayed as carefully I read,
those pages with all anxious speed.
To find a voice, the booklet said,
I thought in truth my voice was dead.
I知 here, look at my face.
Oh ! why do you ignore me,
I知 writing in your place.
my words are truly free.

For gods sake, please listen,
I am your opposite face,
I sparkle and I glisten
I知 writing in your place.

Could envy be the case,
why your eyes are closed to me.
I知 here, look at my face,
I知 here for all to see.

I waste my time in fighting,
I知 here, look at my face.
It痴 my hand that does the writing.
I知 talking in your place.
