Blind Man Poem by Pleasant Dabbs

I know you wish you had your sight
A blind man's life's not easy
Your eyes deceive and say there's a light
You mind tells you're crazy

Your hands grope frantically to find
Some truth ‘mid the confusion
When you reach out and no one's there
You curse at life's illusion

There is beauty in the night
There is strength in unseen sight
A blind man's eyes are quick to see
The hidden thoughts and subtleties

He searches out the human mind
And with perceptiveness is kind
To those who need a soul that feels
And know what a shy heart conceals

Self-pity is a hidden stone
That dulls your other senses
It lures into deep despair
It hides you behind fences

Remember others need your love
Give it flowin' like a river
When the feeling dies then like your eyes
Your heart will wilt and wither

There is beauty in the night
There is strength in unseen sight
A blind man's eyes are quick to see
The hidden thoughts and subtleties

He searches out the human mind
And with perceptiveness is kind
To those who need a soul that feels
And know what a shy heart conceals
