Notes About The Poem

A Blind Man and His Poetic Friend- In Braille

Here’s a short poem for the blind among us, 
A poem that’s written in braille,
A poem that hopes to enlighten the world, 
A short unique, beautiful tale,

About a blind old wise man, who lives all alone, 
In a house on the far side of town,
With a poetic dog, who faces the moon, 
And howls a short poetic sound, 

And the man can see what the dog softly sings, 
Can see what this dog tries to say,
Can see the love shared by this most beautiful dog, 
The love on full public display,

As he drifts off to sleep, every night of the week, 
Drifts off with this dog on his mind,
This poetic mongrel, a terrier cross something, 
This poetic dog who is blind.
