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
