Blind

Bringing out the light from the dark
Expunge evil from a makers mark

God cleanse it, the deftness aptly applied
Dumbness and deafness, captured astride

Too daft to get it, to pray, instead let it
Too deep inside, eating, without the wit

To see the honest truth
See yourself to the booth

What a beautiful way to say we need light to chase the darkness from our lives. We simple folk need to read words like these to remind us where our blessings come from. Love Elizabeth

Now now, I hardly think it is fair to say that any of my readers are 'simple folks.' I thank you all for commenting.
