My response is always, "Fine, thank you."
What I would really like to say is,
"Yes...I am ok."
I have My Sight...
Although not perfect, I can still see the
Glorious sunsets, the antics of a kitten,
And the smile Of a child.
I Have My Hearing...
Even though impaired, I can hear the music
That takes the wrinkles out of my day.
I can hear others tell me they love me! And
every morning, I can hear the snap, crackle
And pop...even if it isn't the cereal.
I have My Sense of Smell...
Although marred with allergies, I could tell
If the house is on fire, or the baby needs
Changing. Oh and isn't it heavenly to smell
That first cup of coffee in the morning?
I still have My Sense of Taste...
I can tell when something has gone bad or
Sour, even though I have to wonder about
My own cooking sometimes.
I Still Have My Sense of Touch...
Even though some people say I am really
Touched...The joy of touching another,
Loving another, petting your cat, makes
You feel you Are not alone.
I am OK you see.
I can walk...even though I may stumble.
I can talk...sometimes without stopping.
I can laugh...even when nothing is funny.
I can cry...anytime I want to.
In fact, I think I am better than just Okay!!
