“I Am Learning To See”
light had passed through lenses of plastic and glass,
some now scratched, others shattered, all pieces of the past
mangled frames and empty cases, discarded like broken memories
by the man who once hopefully said âi am learning to see.â
as tears streamed from his eyes, he knew his vision was not to be
and his dying words were like fading shadows, âi am learning to see.â
he looked at the garbled heap that was now a jumbled mess
though he could hardly see, he touched the frames then sat down to rest
âthe road was long and sometimes dusty,â he thought about yesterday
and through lenses of every type and color i could always say
that if i should die tomorrow or if today is the last for me
let it be known that when i see heaven part, still âi am learning to see.â
