Become a Tennis VIP,
A Visually Impaired Player - just like me,
No matter how your sight loss occurred,
Your vision black, incomplete, or blurred,
With adapted rules and cool soundball,
It’s a great sport - designed to suit all,
Don’t question your abilities, or be shy,
Just join in the fun and give it a try ......

Sighted
Vision, perception
Staring, observing, gazing
Ability to see everything, total visual impairment
Stumbling, groping, touching
Darkness, sightless
Blind

P arent becomes child becomes as parent –

A pparent is elder one’s impairment.

T rying feelings and thoughts run concurrent

I n this cycle of human life changes.

E motional weight can out right drain us.

N avigating relationship strangeness,

C oncentrating on being courageous,

E ntails resolute faith to sustain us.

I cannot still believe my karma
When all drab hope expired
And with it my faith
In humanity -
We met.

I do not question Fate,
It's snakelike ripcord slither;
I accept whole the dream
For fear it is -
Not real.

I will not court denial,
Kiss belief in this fortune;
The living treasure you bestow
Upon my being -
Breathes exultant.

I know only these things:
Life weeps fluid ephemeral,
And bludgeoned by impairment;
Yet together we may shoot -
The moon....
