MY BLIND FRIEND

My Friend

I met this man late in my life,
who lives in world that has no light

I try to think back to the day we met
but the time and place escapes me yet

How could I have forgotten this momentous day
When this man and his dog came my way

Through all the hours we sit and talk
and from the many times that we walk

I find that there is a common ground
That I have with this friend that Ive found

I look at him and all the while,
I wonder if he wears a mask with a smile

I wonder if I could face his plight
This world of his an endless night

Would I be able, a LOVE to share
As though my life had no care

This thought is with me still
when I think of him, my friend Bill
