What's in a voice?
I have known the sound of nothing so long
Since I was just a flutter
from the tenderness of her "shhhhh...."
to the distress of her "[sigh]......"
from the stern holler of "HEIDI!!!"
to the delight of "Heidikins!....."
her inquisitive questions
her seldom shared life suggestions
There's reason
There's reassurance
There's familiarity
There's functionality
There's correction
There's compassion
There's conversation
Then it creaks and groans and slows...
threatening to halt
A word here, a throat cleared there
I want to pull it back
back from the ALS abyss
A voice, you say?
Would by any other name sound so sweet?
Not hers.
It's just a name - letters, sounds, syllables - you say?
Yes, but it's hers.
It's just a body - bones, muscles, joints - you say?
Yes but it's hers.
It's just a voice - tones, pitches, vibrations - you say?
Yes, but it's hers.
God made this name, this body, this voice.
and He made them hers.
He made my name, my body, my voice.
and He made them hers.
What's in a voice, you say?
It's hers.
