Wrote this for Ronnie when I met him at Nashville Now back in the 80s.

You Can Hear What He Sees

His words and his music
Are his unique way to see
And we're fortunate he shares
His great gift, with you and me.

His window to the World
Is not through sight, but sound
And his life is sharing
The joy, he has found.

The beauty he can feel
Is what, he hopes we hear
For, though his eyes can't see
His vision, is quite clear.

He's had many blessings
Given by God, up above
A lovely Wife, a Son
To, fill each day with love.

He knows about some things
Some of us, will never learn
He's thought of with respect
Something, you've got to earn.

He has some dreams in sight
There, inside his heart and mind
And, he'll make them all come true
For, he is, a special kind.
