This poem was written by a friend of mine, who lost his eye-sight a few years ago. However he hasn’t lost his vitality for life. He can see quite well from a hidden eye most of us sighted people have but never use.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Birthdays are for memories to look back over the years
To good times and to bad times and some that bring us tears
To conjure up those younger days when we were in our youth
With the simple things we cherished like honesty and truth
We’ve all looked back to the years gone by
With visions of wonder held before our eye
At what a life we’ve lived to date
And questioned whether we have bumbled it,
Or made it turn out great
But when all the questions asked
And we look back at the road we passed
We couldn’t have done much better
At completing every task
