Melody Poem by Mahfooz Ali

Melody



I sat through endless lessons,
But couldn’t understand them.
Still, I took classes every night
because my parents planned them.

The pictures in my books
Show all the ways they taught me.
But I would never sing or play,
Due to what fate had brought me.

They took me to a doctor.
He said, “He has lost his hearing.”
The diagnosis that he gave
was one that they were fearing.

My parents were despairing.
To me, it did not matter.
I saw and felt the music now
without the noise and chatter.



My parents shouldn’t worry
There’s music all around me now.
