Blind Insight Poem by Ima Ryma

My mother only had one eye.
That caused me great embarrassment.
Sometimes I wished that she would die -
She died in a car accident.
The doctor for my family
Wrote of a true story to tell
Of what my mother did for me
When I was real young and not well.
In one of my eyes I went blind.
It was damaged beyond repair.
The only real hope was to find
A donated eye from somewhere.

My mother gave me much, for sure.
The donated eye was from her.
