The Little, Blind Girl


I met her once

a little, blind girl

who had let me

inside her wonderful world.


Yes, she couldn't see,

the girl with eyes bright.

Yet, she loved her world

like she never lost her sight.


She heard the music

of the breeze that blew.

The love for her world,

it only grew.


She acquainted me with

that music she heard,

from the buzz of the bees

to the chirping of the birds.


Yes, she couldn't see

the wonders of life.

Yet, she smiled

without a sign of strife.


She had beautiful eyes

filled with wonder.

I stood speechless and thought

how could God make such a blunder?


She danced and sang

with a graceful twirl.

How she loved her life

the little, blind girl.


She smiled and laughed,

her face filled with joy.

With wonder in her eyes,

she was serene, yet coy.


She felt her world

beneath her tiny fingers

and on me left a mark

that would forever linger.


Yes, she couldn't see

the life that she felt.

Yet, she never showed

the sorrow that she dealt.


Her world was dark.

Yet,  she saw

the Earth's true form

pure and raw.


Yes, she let me in.

But I couldn't overstay.

So, I excused myself polietly

and quietly walked away.


I had met her once

a little girl who couldn't see.

Yes, she was a child

but the happiest there could ever be.
