POEM BY THE FATHER OF A DEAF CHILD
Look my child, and you will see
All the things that you can be
Open your eyes, free your mind
leave the garbled words behind
The hand and eye, not the lip and ear
Will make the world around you clear
L'Eppe and Clerc and Gallaudet
Knew which language on which to bet
Sign fits your body like a glove
So you can see your parents' love
You need not speak to prove your worth
for Sign was with you at your birth
So Sign my child, so we can see
The wonderful YOU, that you will be
~Brad Ingrao '96
