When Ben got into the car,
I begun the trip , Off to the destination
Silence flooding the vicinity
But fury up on his face
How can I help him?
What did he say ?
I see him talk seamlessly
He doesn’t know I can’t hear him,
On the super highway flawlessly
Streaming towards his drop off point
I could sense He was not happy
He thought I was ignoring him
I felt a tap on my shoulder
His lips moving, so I picked up my sign
SORRY AM DEAF, I CANT HEAR YOU
The look on his face ,
Oh am sorry ma’am’ I read his lips
Jotting it down He noted, YOU MOTIVATE ME
I felt so good that what is considered
A disability is what can lit the world
Silencing the chaos without a word!
Now that’s a SUPERPOWER!
