No Obvious Light

The sun comes up and the whole world seems bright

But there's at least one place where there's no obvious light

She opens her eyes and everything remains the saddest of blacks

The greens and blues and purples we see, her vision regrettably lacks

To be confined by such a social stigma every day of her life

Feelings of being stabbed in the back by an unseen knife

Forget that she can't see the sunset or the people she holds dear

Or the waves crashing against the beach or the her reflection in the water so clear

We don't care that she can't see any of life's greatest moments

As long as we get our quick quip in and laugh at her expense

What kind of society is this that we keep her in her dark

Rather than sit her down and explain every detail of fall in the park

Explain the clear blue waves crashing against the grainy sand

Describe the deep blue sky that fades to teal and sea foam green and

Yellow.

Yellow.

That would have been her favorite color, the one that symbolizes joy

The color that covered her priceless and treasured childhood toy

The sunlight glinting on the mirror giving her a slight halo

Showing the angel she is regardless of what people's hot air may blow

But she can't see her halo or see her beautiful outstretched wings

She can't see anything because we don't have word pictures to bring

Or maybe we do but we don't present them to her like we should

But what if we told her how beautiful she is and described beauty like we could
