Written 1998 By Me
~
I, in my ignorance,
Thought of them as blind
To all things
They had left behind.
~
I never gave them credit
Of Feeling Love's first bliss
Nor could I see them
Having passion with a kiss.
~
And as I grew much older
With children of my own
I found my parents' blindness
Was not theirs alone.
~
I had indeed forgotten
The passions I swore they'd never seen
Now I was the blind parent
Not completely...
But somewhere in between.
