Childhood Poem-12

Rating: 5.0


He never knew light
He never knew sight
Everything around was dark.
Never saw the sky
Never saw birds fly.
He did not know beauty
Nor anything murky.
Because he was a child
Who was born blind.

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
i had written this poem when one day i came to know that the road cleaner of our colony had a blind son....i just could not understand how a boy just a couple of years younger to you could live without looking at anything....i used to scream even if mom would not be there in the room whenever there was a power failure...

The child was blind. But awaked with hearing voices of poems in his mom's mouth. All series of this poem numbered in different sections are really beautiful presentation and more valuable works.

A touching poem but the blind people many times hav more gifts than us. I know a very extra talentd blind man who uses his other senses far better than us. Kudos sis poet. And FOND BAQRID MUBARUK

A very philosophical write..... being blind, they are free of all ugliness of life! When God deprives somebody of onething, He may gift him/her with many other things... I have seen many blind people with the gift of music!
