Blind

I'm reaching,
reaching for a helping hand

No one knows,
what it's like to see nothing.

All day long,
I hear about the beauties
of the surrounding world,
but I can never see them.

People always feel sorry for me
because I am blind.

But I look at it this way,
I know nothing but blindness.

I don't know beauty,
I don't know pretty,
I don't know what the world looks like.

I have never seen the sun,
I have never seen the moon,
I have never seen a rainbow.

I've heard of them all,
but I can't see them.

I wish I could see the day,
I wish I could see the night,
I wish I could see my mother's face

No one knows how hard it is
to go through life.....being blind.
