Talkin' Corneal-Transplantation Gratitude
Talkin' Corneal-Transplantation
Gratitude
Whispering voices beseech me,
through failing eyes unable to
see,
riding the clouds floating on a
dream,
my vision swept away in a frigid
stream,
I clambered and clawed my way
between the moss,
listening to sickly sweet
platitudes of flimsy candy-floss,
and now I stand up again, I
rise,
thanks to your selfless gift of
your very own eyes,
owing a debt to a life that has
passed away,
bequeathing unto me hopes of
seeing this new day,
an unknown donor lives on,
within my very eyes,
and I am eternally thankful, as
each night and day flies,
to you whom I shall never
know, my anonymous giver of
sight,
my gratitude is endless, as I
wish you peace, on your final
flight.
(to the unknown donors of the
Corneas that I have so
fortunately received)
