Darkness Before Dawn
Day or night all the same
Clock ticks to put hour its name
Steps i take are all counted
From bed to balcony no railing mounted
I breath air to recognize the season
And pray god to gift me the vision
I heard Johnny say cloud are fluffy and white
I am not sure weather he is right
Sun only make me warm but never cry
As dark glass protects my eye
On the wide streets with all alone
I seek company of friends far gone
Car honks all around me
Streets are not as safe they used to be
I took my shoes and stick in hand
I walk like i am sinking in sand
Finger and palm touch the face
Eye cheat me to tell its spade's ace
Mom said stars are glitter in sky
But i cant see them, god tell me why
Dreams only has random words
How do i recognize the chirping bird
Few say they wore red or white
How do i know which colour is bright
Streets may have name for others
Poles and bus stands are my guiding brothers
Streets have lamp to light pedestrians way
My ears help me to make the play
Strangers everyday come and go
One day my eyes will have vision and glow
Finger tell me socks tore
Loneliness making me so bore
Happiness plays hide and seek
Eyes are gaurded by darkness so thick
Mirror never told me single lie
Mom said i have pretty smile
Daddy never gave up on me
He took me to feel the sea
Waves are blue and white on top
Put your leg and try them to stop
Blind as me, still walk with pride
Customer of ferry enjoy their ride
Santa please come before Christmas eve
Put pair of eyes besides Christmas tree
He came with the gift that i want
gave me glasses with eyes on top drawn
Blessed i am with pair of eyes to have
It still made me stay in the darkest cave
On a lonely night i sat and sobbed
Why oh god, my eyes are robbed
It seems like he heard my plea
In weeks i got a pair of eyes too see
Doctor said i am lucky to receive pair of eye
In an accident last night, some one waved the world his good bye
No one knew who was he what was his name
But he was like gods angel came
Now eyes have glow it never had
Its the best gift that i wished every night before going to bed
Thank you dear who gave me the vision stolen for years
My eyes are filled with tears
Now i have to live my life with reason
I should try to gift all blind with vision
