Sightless - (Alternative title: Role Playing [?]) (A Partial Fantasy) The worth and meaning Of a caress I think it not possible We could go through life And not know it We'd been married for years When she fell Hit her head Left her sightless They said it would return They didn't know when Well, we adjusted - our Marriage had cooled The early fervor faded But core love remained Naturally I stepped in Supported her in everything Touch became part of each Conversation The dog joined the family The kitchen, bath, all rooms Rearranged Yet the touch Took prominence The touch I could see But hadn’t realized - Since I was a teen! So I ask you to remember Remember back Back to the first tentative Touches, caresses How electric, how meaningful They were We relearned I relearned She can see again now The honeymoon returned It hasn't left The first duty of love is to listen. ~ Paul Tillich ~ [This message has been edited by Wilfred Yeats (edited 03-06-2001).] |

Touch is an important element in love...the little caresses that show you care... |

This is a heartfelt moment. ...But core love remained... We must adjust to the fate Life hands us. I've been married 30+ years and we've always said as we grow older, "I'll be your eyes, you be my ears". Melton |
