IF NO SIGHT HAD I

Suddenly, so suddenly, my eyes, they could no longer see,

Where did everything go, what am I to become, I’m blind.

Darkness, only darkness can be my world now, to be afraid,

Never again a sunny day, the night visits me repeatedly.

If no sight had I there would be many new thoughts’ and adventures,

The wind I would hear as I did before, my Imagination would create.

Pictured scenes of what It was doing.

Music would still be heard although my mind could see the story

A song might tell with Its’ words’,

A television show now only to be heard, no picture book to go with.

A kiss could still be placed upon her lips’, no sight or sound do I need,

Feelings’ here are what will be needed and a little sense of touch.

If no sight had I, life would be just fine.
