Blindness

Nothing worse than being blind
Everyone tries to be so kind

But no images are now visible
It makes living so miserable

Those of you who still can see
Do all you can to not be me

Do the check up as you should
Make sure your eyesight stays good

Do all you can to keep your sight
Nothing is worse than not seeing light

If you are told to take some care
Make sure you listen and be aware

If you do all you are told to do
Losing your sight will not happen to you

Blindness is probably the most frightening over deafness so we need to take care of our eyes. Thanks for the visit Blessings Edith
