Happy Birthday to NVAD!!
by Marshall N. Butler
NVAD President 1954-55
NVAD'd like to view the world for once
All talking with their hands
And see them signing man to man
With deaf friends in this land.
NVAD'd like to sweep away the dust
Of ignorance and fear
And feel our friends can talk to us
With trust and love made clear.
That's the song NVAD sings
Let the world sign today
A sign of hope that wants to say:
"Reach out, we'll learn your way."
Take a look at NVAD's message
Let's begin today.
Take a look at my story
My hands will sign the way.
NVAD's like to view the world for once
And see them signing man to man
With deaf friends in this land.
