THE LITTLE BLIND GIRL

A little girl sat quietly
Listening to other children at play,
She refused to join them
She would only be in the way.

She smelled the fragrance of flowers
She heard the birds singing in the trees,
She wondered what beauty lay before her
If her eyes could only see.

A small girl sat down beside her
And called her by name,
"Why are you sitting here alone?"
Please join us in our games.

A beautiful smile lit up her face
Her eyes glistened with tears,
They walked towards the other children
Who happily welcomed her there.
