20120401 Why not?

My Lord, was the one and only Person who had listened to me
when nobody else really understood my language.
My Lord, was the one and only Person who could speak to me
when I had not yet fully grasped the spoken language around me.
Deaf-mute is not insulting when used to describe my condition.
Deaf-mute is the only word to describe the deepest state of loneliness
I had gone through.


My Lord wanted me to talk about His goodness and mercy
since the very day that He brought me to this land.
I have since growned accustomed to my deaf-mute stage,
having lived with it for 25 years, that it has become
quite an agony to find the right words and phrases
to pen down and tell of His loving kindness;
and agonizing yet to dig out the bits and pieces
that He has seen me through,
as perceived through the other senses
which indeed helped so much in cushioning the journey.


Like the very first time He asked me the question
He is asking once again,
"Are you willing to take this ride with me?"
my answer is:
"Why not?"
