No sound
Patience growing the doctors glory, the baby gave a shout
So sudden was the darkness, when the child could hear no sound.
Upon the fathers lap, lays a mother’s hand in doubt.
Reading over the babies shoulder the hearing aid fell out.
Patience growing the doctor’s glory, the baby gave a shout.
Running to the doctors, the parents thanked the man.
Interest in tomorrow, the child will raise his hand.
School is for the children’s mind and hearing aids are fine.
Evening came and the doors shut close and the child heard all this while
