Total Darkness - Biggest Fear

When I was just a little girl - around the age of three. My eye doctor said something - that still to this day haunts me! He said that although my eyes would continually worsen - that I would not go blind! How could this be possible - really blows my mind! In all the places I live - the rooms I memorize. So that if this should befall me - it's not such a surprise! I make sure my cats collars jungle - so over them I do not trip. I keep the floors clear of debris - so I won't take a slip. You may deem me a bit paranoid - and that may be the case. When so many others - this fear they had to face! Everything happens for a reason - I've believed this all my life! I've gained quite a bit of wisdom - through my struggles and strife. Should blindness overtake me - I'll focus upon my Spirituality! Drawing on the love and support - of my friends and family! I have many blessings - that daily I do count! And if you really stop to think - that's what life is all about! Footnote: Written on 3-9-15
