I Can See You Clearly


At some point, most people will need glasses to see better. Maybe just for reading, maybe for nighttime driving, or perhaps to see the world in crisp focus at all times. How wonderful to have this simple tool to bring clarity to our lives!

My creative writing class used a table of eyeglasses as its prompt. This is what I "saw"...


I CAN SEE YOU CLEARLY

Whether nearsighted
Or farsighted,
I can see you clearly.

Tortoise shell
or wire framed,
Your face is always just right.

Dark tint, no tint,
Bifocal or monocle,
You are always in focus.

I may misplace my glasses,
I might sit on and break them,
But you are never forgotten,
Seemingly indestructible.

Right in front of my face,
Always on my mind,
Like my favorite eyeglasses,
I can see you clearly.
