Not Without A Voice

Loving light in her eyes,
smile borne upon her lips,
lips that would never

open to a sound.

Her mother looked down.
Sudden fear.
Silent tears.

In her hand, she held a picture.
Her child.
Newborn.

In her arms, she held her child.
Speechless.

The child turned her head,
reached her hand
to her mother's cheek.

Wiped away
her mother's tears.

"I may never speak,
but I will say."

A small smile upon
her mother's lips.
She understood.

Her child would never speak,
but she would say
with the loving light in her eyes
and the smile borne upon her lips.
