A poem about struggling with hearing loss.
What???
I’m getting old
I’m getting deaf.
Saps my confidence. It makes me wary.
Traveling by bus is really scary.
I miss the bird song, but not barking dogs.
I miss loving words, but not his snoring.
I hate silent bikes, chattering diners,
Missing subtitles, crackly telephones.
I’m getting deaf.
I’m getting old.
I do need help on my life’s Odyssey.
I am grateful for Audiology.
The staff listen and they do hear my needs.
For hearing aids and for comforting deeds.
