It's About Time

I met a deaf person, today.
Yet, he heard my sadness.
For when in tune with another,
the heart beats hollow, and empty.
It echoed my grief, and he did cry...
....and I broke down and cried with him.

Then, a handicapped person came along,
and there were braces on his limbs.
Yet, it was this person
who helped steady me,
helped pick me up, and send me on my way.
I was thankful...and once again, I wept.

Then, surprisingly I met an elderly blind woman.
Who not only saw what happened,
but, understood my plight.
She felt no sorrow for the deaf man,
she felt no sorrow for the cripple,
nor did she feel any sorrow for my breakdown.

What she saw...and saw vividly,
was true human nature,and the way it interacts.
And that helped me to celebrate,
each of our uniquenesses,
our availability, and a view into everyone's heart.
And it's about time.
