I met him one night
As I typed away
Clicking and clicking for Mr. Right
The message came up in the box
Away we chatted half
The night
A call we did share
To get each other
To know we cared
An email came to me
The next morning
You see dear Robin
I do not have my sight
I lost it at such a young age
But having no sight
Has given me such knowledge over the years
I laugh now
When I think of a picture
I had sent over the internet
To a man who could not see
But Oh
I have learned over the years
He can see so much more
Than the rest of us
His wisdom is so bright
Even though
He does not have his sight
He has taught me
How a person can see
Even with their eyes
Closed to the light
Many a words he has spoken
Through conversations shared
You can do it
You are a beautiful person
Always take care and
Believe in yourself
Look deep within that mind
And heart
God has given you
We all have
Trials and tribulations
We can share and learn from
I thank him
For over the time
He has given to me
His friendship
Always being so unconditionally
I shall always remember
The night he shared
A leopard can never
Change his spots
Damn! He was so right!
Why did it take me
So long to see the light?
Amazing is it not?
That I can see the sky,
See the colors of the day,
See the faces of so many,
But I cannot see the
True light that really shines
And that is
What a person is really
All about
So thank you Dear Bob
My friend of mine
For always, always,
Helping me to see the light!
