Unable
Unable to see the world around you
Unable to see the clouds above
Unable to see the color blue
Or what your reflection looks like in the mirror
All these precious things we take for granted
All these thing we don’t seem to think twice about
Until one day
When our loved one come into this world
Missing only one thing
The eyes that help you see
Born blind
Unable to see what lies around her
Unable to experience the beauty we do
Unable to look into her mother’s eyes
The colors, the shapes, facial expressions
All this has no meaning
Why? was a common asked question
But nobody knows
No eyes means nothing
For she will never miss what she never had
A family to take care of her
Love from everywhere
She is beautiful and healthy
And there is nothing more
That one could possibly do
She’ll grow just like any other
Not thinking that she is different
Independent she will become
And off she goes in her little world
As if nothing was ever wrong
She’ll walk through the park on a sunny morning
Catch the smile on your face
Capture the emotions that lie within
And one day she will picture it
That way that she believes it to be
No eyes
This means nothing
For she will grow and prosper
Just like any other
And powerless she will not be
For her strength within will pull her through
