Blind Faith

Going Blind

William Elliott

To see the stars
Was all I ask.
To see your face,
Was all I'd need.

To see at all,
Beyond the fog.
To see at all was my desire.

I long to see you smile again.
Never from out the gloom,
Will I ever see this room.

I long to see a sunset rare.
To walk again without a care.
To hold you in a longing stare.
To watch on the bough a growing pear.

I long to see the flower bloom,
Pity me with growing gloom.
Pity me with growing dark.
Now only hearing the rising lark.

Pity me with sad refrain.
Never now to see again.
Darkness comes much faster now.
Never ask me how.

Life's great beauty no more to share.
But what for that should I care.
With the blessing of the night,
I with neither struggle or fight.

Blindness can a blessing be,
What need I to see.
In the love I have for you,
I know all is true.

Always perfect is my sun.
Always my love you will be
Always young in my eye you'll be.

Perfect blessing of the Lord,
Treasured memories I will hoard.
Little care I to see.
Till with Him I will be.
