A rewrite and repost

        The blind that see

By clips and slips the beads fall,
His fingers send each pleas recall.
Silent echoes circle within.
Those hands so fragile, skin so thin.

Life is given in his swear,
Even though the beads do wear.
And the string grows thinner each day,
As his fingers wrinkle and grey.

Yet through his blind and staring eyes.
Each bead sends out a silent cry.
From his mind and his heart within,
To stay from satin and his sin.

Never a pause, never a stop,
The beads in circle touch and drop.
Each drop a message from his soul.
A rosary of moral goal.

I wonder at this blind moolvie,
If he is blind, than what of me?
