Read Between The Lines
She drew an imaginary line
Dividing who she was
And who she’s becoming
She used to be satisfied
Crumbs instead of feasts
A peck on the cheek
Pat on the back
A few kind words
Once in awhile
A little bit of loving
Was just enough
Then bit by bit
And day by day
She began to see
It wasn’t too much
It was just more
Than she had ever expected before
Though it seemed like
It was perfectly clear
Maybe you should have
Read between the lines
Listened to her heart
She wants something
To hold on to
When you’re not there
A hand written letter
Handcrafted card
A token from
Where ever you were
To show she came to mind
A glass of wine on the patio
A cup of coffee
For no reason at all
A slow dance
A little romance
She wants to be known
She wants to pull on
Memories
Layer on love
Wrap herself in the warmth
Of a lasting relationship
She wants to look
And see
That there is love
Engraved
In more than
Just her heart
She wants more
She wants pieces of you
To have and to hold
Feel with both hands, Jeanna’
Several months ago, I found out about something that would change my life. It was something I had only imagined.and suddenly, it wasn’t only a hope,wishful thinking,or a fantasy -it was becoming a reality!
I waited for months,just as if I was expecting a baby, filled with anticipation, dreaming and planning, for the day that I would finally hold Ava.
The day came, just an ordinary day.when an email arrived “Are you ready for Ava?”
My eyes filled with tears.my hands shook and I whispered, “Finally” before bursting into a dance of pure joy and exclaiming, “YES! YES! YES!”
AVA is an acronym meaning “audio – visual accessibility” and it’s an incredible new app that allows for deaf and hearing impaired like me to finally participate and understand group conversations, by linking smart phones in a network that enables spoken words to become readable text.
So, unless you’re deaf or hearing impaired,or know someone who is,then you may not even know about Ava or understand my excitement.
Well, why don’t you just step into my cowboy boots and walk a mile or two in them
