I have documented my issues with my eyes previously and that’s when I really realised how much we depend on our eyes in our daily activities.

At its peak, when I was scared that I would not be able to see from that eye anymore, I was tourtured by the thought that I will never be able to see my children or my loved ones again or even this beautiful world we have.

So here’s today’s poem in honour of the importance our eyes have for us.

Eyes

The first thing we do when we wake up

And the last thing we do when we end the day, tired and yawning

Is to open or shut our eyes, our window to the world

Our eyes show us this beautiful world

Let us know the love that shines in the eyes of the ones we loved

We use it all day, every day

Until its an automatic gesture, missing it only when it gets in disarray

So make sure you take care of your eyes

You only have a pair till you die

Otherwise, you may fall into despair and regret

At that point, there’s nothing to do but fume and fret!
