Total Darkness - Biggest Fear
When I was just a little girl - around the age of three.
My eye doctor said something - that still to this day haunts me!
He said that although my eyes would continually worsen - that I would not go blind!
How could this be possible - really blows my mind!
In all the places I live - the rooms I memorize.
So that if this should befall me - it's not such a surprise!
I make sure my cats collars jungle - so over them I do not trip.
I keep the floors clear of debris - so I won't take a slip.
You may deem me a bit paranoid - and that may be the case.
When so many others - this fear they had to face!
Everything happens for a reason - I've believed this all my life!
I've gained quite a bit of wisdom - through my struggles and strife.
Should blindness overtake me - I'll focus upon my Spirituality!
Drawing on the love and support - of my friends and family!
I have many blessings - that daily I do count!
And if you really stop to think - that's what life is all about!
