Blind Mans Prayer

	Written: By Tom Wright
	Oct. 1997
	
	Lord, my greatest desire in life might be.
	That my eyes you'd un-scale so that I might see.
	See the world around me both rich and full.
	The sandy beach, the sea, the skyward Gull;
	
	Let me see the children as they run and play.
	Let me see the sunset at the end of day.
	In the heavens the stars that twinkle so bright.
	These things bring to mind my soon coming flight.
	
	But then, Lord, I'd see all life's ugly parts.
	The sin and the drugs, men's hardened hearts.
	In my darkened world I'm now not aware.
	Of the color of a man’s skin nor length of his hair.
	
	Or of tattooed folks and the strange way some dress.
	Of life's daily rigors that often lead one to stress.
	I'm sure that with sight I'd find myself in a jam.
	So please leave me dear Lord, until you come, as I am.
