Your Gift of Sight

You are blind and yet you see;
I guide you often,
though you always lead me.

We talk and share, day by day,
while you seem to sense
everything I try to say.

You know my heart's desire,
I envy your gift;
I envy your strength and fire.

I wish I knew how to visualize
all that you can see
through your inner eyes.

Never seeing what is evil or unjust,
you have taught me how
to sense only beauty, and to learn to trust.

Now, when you hold me near, I find,
my heart sees clearly,
and neither of us will ever again be blind.
