Although she was blind
She saw with her heart
Very much better
Than most with their eyes
Although she was deaf
Listening to heart
Public speaker strength
Inspired the world
Listening and seeing with heart are always better than any thing. Brilliant.
Poet Dash, I'm honored that you find the poem to be brilliant. Sincerest thanks!
Great write about a great person. An inspiration to generations. Happy to read. Thank You, Richard and Thank You, PoemHunter
Both her and her teacher Anne Sullivan were true inspirations for generations to come. All of us should learn through their example! Very happy with your response, Poet Menon.
Hen Keller was indeed special, and so was her teacher. How in the world did Anne Sullivan manage to teach someone who was both deaf and blind? Amazing!
You're absolutely right, Kim! And as I was writing this poem, I was formulating one for Anne Sullivan. Both women exemplified the greatness of the human spirit!
Geeta, it makes me very happy that you've added this poem to your favourites. It is indeed an honour!
