WITHOUT SIGHT

        by  Emily M. Parris

Some people may not understand
A person without sight
They think the lack of vision
Makes it like the darkest night

But sound becomes the beacon
That fills the empty space
And words and talking enter in
To the emptiness replace

When you see a blind person
Don't be perturbed at all
Remember that your voice is there
And they will hear the call

Replace your sight with talking -
Just say a word or two
And they will find it easy
To communicate with you
