REBECCA

Rebecca lives in a silent world,
With loneliness in her heart;
Rebecca neither hears or speaks
And it's tearing me apart.

Rebecca is my only child,
With curly dark brown hair
And eyes of hazel shining;
So pure, sweet and fair.

The tears I shed for her
She doesn't understand;
She knows she is different
But she does not demand.

She'll never wear a wedding ring,
She will never say "I do";
Rebecca's world is silent
And I can not get through.
