Poem
The little boy sits by the christmas tree Full of light and color Trying to figure out what all the colors are He puts his little hands on the ornaments Trying to see what they are Feeling them He steps back and falls over a present He feels around the box trying to open it Only seeing alittle Mean while on the phone.. his mom is talking to the doctor "do you think he will be able to see by christmas?" she says The doctor replies "theres no guarentees, he is 67 % blind, when we did the test with him, he described the color blue as a dark black, and a yellow as a light gray, your son only sees in black and white and im not sure if we can fix that. but we will do our best" A breathe escapes from her lips as she turns and looks at her son The doctor explains "his surgery is set for Dec. 7th. be here around 8 am and we will see what we can do, im trully sorry" He hangs up. Back in the living room The boy stands up and walks over to his mom "mom, have you seen the christmas lights?" he says She replies "yes sweety i have." He hugs her leg and says "are they black and white?" She answers "no sweety" she points to a light bulb on the tree "this one is blue" she smiles He grabs the light bulb and repeats "this one is blue" and giggles She lays him down in his bed as he quickly falls asleep She sits down on the chair and thinks "to me. because my son cannot see the beautiful lights and feel the joys of christmas, everything is gray for me. nothing will fill my empty heart" There are no smiles, when everything is gray, when you cant see the colors of a bright day
