I was born this way, I have never seen the day, nor the beauty and splendour of all He has made. No rising sun against the pale blue sky, no oceans' tide, no mountains high, no silver moon, gold stars shining bright, though for me without sight it is always as night, and so, I can only imagine it's true, what's been said about this great vast universe and you. Such wonders to behold which would bring sheer delight that I would trade all other senses for one moment of sight, for one chance to see all these things and you His, greatest creation even my life I would give.

About this poem:
A blind mans wish. Thanks for reading, be blessed!
You know Joseph. ...I have always wondered if I had to make a choice between being blind or deaf, I decided that I would choose blindness over deafness just because of my love for music. This is an excellent topic to consider, and an even better poem to consider. .....

When I see Ray Charles, and the way music is visible in his every fiber,then my choice would have to be blind Joseph. And Etta James would rather go blind as well.
Good stuff Brother J, but it sounds like the blind man has a vision that even a lot with sight can behold. Good day to you my friend…Jesse

How often o we take for granted our five senses. I cant say that I could live without one because to me all are just as important as the other. Excellent piece J.
