The Gift Of Sight Poem by Phil Ward

Thanks to you I opened my eyes,
Looked around and saw the world,
And there it was in front of me
the life that I'd been searching for.
I was blinded and couldn't see,
What was right in front of me,
The years of foggy compromise
had clouded judgment in my eyes.

Now that I can see the light,
I see the day not dark of night
and life has opened up for me,
Now I can see in front of me.
Gone the blinkers from my eyes,
It's time for me to realise,
To take a step into the light,
Where all around are roaming free,
Now I have the gift of sight,
I see what's right in front of me.
