If I was blind

I wonder if I were to be blind,

Wouldn’t my life have been left behind?

Could I be able to see the sun so bright?

Or the dynamic beauty of its light!

 

I can’t see the little birds in the sky,

Or wonder how they manage to fly.

I would have to live with imagination all the time,

Oh I wouldn’t even know what is or isn’t mine!

 

I will have to believe whatever other people say,

I will believe even if they call night as day.

I can’t differentiate between colors,

I identity them by the fragrance of flowers.

 

A tear and a smile would be the same to me,

Because the fact is I cannot see.

It’s like having the lock but no key,

I can’t even see Kaka playing football on T.V.!

 

I wouldn’t know the variety in bikes and cars,

Or the glory of twinkle twinkle little star.

I wouldn’t know the different shapes of the moon,

There would be no difference in evening or noon!

 

Now that I’m sure if I were blind,

My life will surely be left behind.

Hats-off to those who still manage to survive,

They have the courage to face their life!
