Throughout my long years in high school,
I hated wearing glasses because they were seen as 'uncool'.
So I started wearing contacts day and night
since I needed something to amplify my sight.
However, as the months passed on by,
my contacts were running out, so I needed to go buy.
Therefore, I reluctantly decided to use my old pair of glasses
when I was required to see during my classes.
But another problem appeared next in line.
I accidentally dropped my spectacles down an incline!
It was shattered into small fragments everywhere.
I was so flabbergasted that all I could do was stare.
My last hope of clear vision was just demolished!
I needed them for the rest of high school and college!
Realizing the turmoil I was feeling,
my father spoke with some words of healing.
He offered to buy a new pair of glasses and contacts
as long as I kept a small contract.
The contract stated I take care of them really well
and I promise, dad, that everything will be swell!
Aw this poem makes me feel bad for you and grateful for myself that I don't need glasses. I'm glad your dad offered to buy you new glasses and contacts, I can't imagine what you'd do without them. Take care of them!
ReplyDeleteThis was the cutest poem I've read by far! I think all of us visually impaired can relate to the feeling of breaking our glasses or running out of contacts, I know I can. You really connected with that type of audience in this poem; I adored the part with you dad at the end. Good vocabulary with the word swell, it contributed to the over all "adorable" feel of the poem. I hope you've been taking good care of your eye ware.
ReplyDeleteI agree with JC; such a cute poem! Luckily I have been fortunate enough to have never broken a pair of glasses, but I get overwhelmed just thinking about what it would feel like to break mine! It probably felt extra worse because you were relying on them even more since you ran out of contacts. I'm glad you and your dad were able to come up with a deal. Hopefully your luck with your eye ware has improved!
