After I was diagnosed with glaucoma, a comforting voice spoke to me and told me to "see". |
As I walked teary-eyed and sadly in despair An unmistakable voice beckoned; I knew not where. The words were comforting, ever so consoling As I lamented the loss of a sense so revealing. The loss of sight is so central I feared Without it, it’s difficult to tell far from near To the untrained person, that is to say I lamented the loss as I walked on my way. The voice which I found pleasurable indeed Uttered words which my heart, soul did “feed” It came from above and the words so received “Fear not my child, do not be deceived.” The voice which I so wanted to hear more Reminded me to look beyond closed doors. “Your heart pierces through darkness, sees light You need not lament the loss of your sight. The goodness and beauty that we all do possess Will always be yours, along with enduring happiness. So fear not in the loss of your sight But rejoice as one who walks in the Light.” I walked ever so vigorously and to my surprise I saw the beauty within, without the use of my eyes For I heard and experienced the most beautiful thing The sweetest message of all, is indeed a blessing. |
