    WAKING UP TO DARKNESS
    Dec. 1989

    Waking up to darkness,
    When light is everywhere,
    Would make most men fearful,
    Or even worse despair.
    Yet, I know a man,
    Whose eyes not seeing,
    Wakes up to bring sunshine
    Into his being.
    Not only to himself,
    As he goes his way,
    But to those he meets
    Along the way.
    He doesn't sit around
    And blame God for his lot;
    He meets life with a smile,
    And gives all he's got.
    In others, he's always
    Looking for good;
    He sees with eyes seeing,
    Just as they should.
    I love this man;
    My Admiration, he's won,
    And I'm proud to say,
    He's Bobby, my son!

    thank you Charlia. Yes, I feel we are truly blest. An update on my Son, His best friend in life, his guide dog for the blind, passed away a few weeks ago. The dog was 14 years old. Bobby is taking it like a trooper. The dog's name was Captain and it is the dog in the picture with Bob with this poem.

    Sounds like you have raised a fine man. Stronger than most with 20/20 vision. A lot of time they can see more into the heart than seeing people can.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
