Best Guide Dog Poems

I got home late from working one night
My eyes felt painful, they didn't feel right
I said to my wife “my eyes feel strange"
She said “it could be eyestrain or even your age"

We laughed about that, I was only forty four
I’d get seen tomorrow when we...

Touching my hand was a wet doggy.
Whatever my fate was going to be,
My dog, my hero would be with me,
If he was in terror it did not show,
I was the weak one that I know.
With agile body and eyes that could see
He swiftly, surely guided...

White America is uncomfortable with moving forward,
they want their future to go back to the past

“Make America Great Again!” 
A brand chiseling, 
cave wall jingo retail sale slogan
Snowflakes wanna hear the retro frost sound
of Viking cold chains rattling

When naked oppression was Dixie singing

That kind of...

Such a beautiful sunny day so we went out for a drive
We walked on a springy pink and purple heather carpet 
then foraged on the hedgerows bursting with bilberries 
whilst butterflies danced and swallows swept through the air
Our pedometers showed our steps as we climbed...

for no fault of mine, congenital blindness has been my lot
i never fail to wonder how i look
mum said i'm blond and beautiful
till date what blonde means still beats me

who only...

To lose your sight at any age
Such bad luck, such misfortune
Feeling your life has come to an end
When all you need is a loyal friend

You feel like a prisoner within your own frame
Unable to venture outside again
There is no incentive to carry on
Surrounded by blackness;...

I waded through the waist deep snow 
Lost and forgotten where no one would go
Evading failures and faults of my own
Cleverly hidden but now I am grown
Expectations of Love and forever more
Unreceptive misgivings always close a door
And as I am so lost inside here I...

Art 


With dark eyes like stones against a light short coat
Meaning more to my family than He ever could have known
Independence and a social bridge for a man who once felt Alone
A lighthouse in a dark and endless ocean 
Leading on to adventures time and...

See what!

Don’t let a let a lot of
skyjack noise 
		         cloud your IQ vision
Radar babies make sonar decisions
for the latest batch 
of tech toys

They be so double blind batty,
making a-plenty penthouse dwellers’
pockets grow beanstalk fatty

Don’t be a...

You've given me a gift Lord to live with intensity.
But I haven't understood this gift You've given me.
Is it for profit or spirit, I question most profoundly.
For I need to find its' course so to find my...

As I have learned to my cost

That love truly is as blind as they say

When it is lost and the heart must
it's penance pay

Rather then gouge my eyes out now 
before I ever begin or wish to fall in 
love again

And offer me a guide...
