A friend from Sotpattana School for the Deaf in Pattaya, Thailand

I say hello, but I have missed
The writing on his shirt, it says,
“School for the Deaf”; he laughs, goes on
Playing with me just how he was.

Christ is there, through the mistakes,
And Christ loves all to try to know
The heart, the loves, the wants, of friends
With whom, in Spirit’s Love they glow.
