The Blind Man

don't you see the
blind man sitting
on the side.

you pass him everyday
some don't notice him
some just look up and
down at him.

but when a pound is 
put in his hand
he gives a smile

truly this man can see
his heart is full of
love and joy
because he knows
he is free and 
counts everything
as a blessing.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
