Play Day

A magical play day.

Visions of dreams.

Good eats, loads of laughs, art abound, all around.

Testing... 1...2...3..

The new year has brought many challenges.

From relationships to finances to family security.

I thought perhaps I had chosen the wrong word of the year.

Perhaps it should be

challenge

or

cope

or

conquer

or

hope.

Then I realized the universe is testing me.

My word.

Focus

Amidst the challenges I must keep focus.

My beautiful daughter was born with poor vision.

What the doctors describe as legally blind.

With strong prescription lenses

her vision is brought to normal.

Every morning upon waking

she reaches for her glasses

as the world is just a blur

without them.

There is never a fuss nor a fret.

Not a worry in that pretty little head.

She puts on the glasses

focuses

and carries on.

My mind's eye must have been born legally blind.

Thoughts stumble and wander aimlessly around

finding it impossible to focus.

I look at my daughter and find inspiration.

A simple correction of vision.

Acceptance for what is.

Focus and carry on.
