See Me (Lessons From A Blind Kindergartener) For: S.G.

They tell me of these colors bold,
Of wondrous sights to see.
What means so much to you,
Means so very little to me.


I reach out front,
Beyond me.
Teach me about what I can feel!
The seen path you take for granted,
Neglects the navigation of this hill.


The object dropped,
Reverberates,
Loud upon the floor.
The sound so piercing to my ears,
With ease you can ignore.


As I walk through the darkness,
I have you along my side.


When you close your eyes with empathy,
You become a better guide.
