Josh saw a speck in his eye as a potential problem which he felt could lead to blindness. He believed so because his father and uncles were blind at a young age. Josh’s doctors however reassured him that this speck was only a floater and nothing serious.
Seeing clearly
Is vital if we’re
To successfully navigate
The terrain of life
- – -
So when Josh
Discovered a speck
In his right eye
He obviously became anxious
- – -
This minuscule intruder
Took up an importance
That he couldn’t imagine
And troubled him
- – -
It had Josh treading
To Opthamologist
After Opthamologist
To find out how serious
Was this culprit
- – -
Josh was assured
That his visitor
Was only a floater
And there was nothing
To worry about
- – -
But Josh world changed
He began imagining things
And felt that he was
Going blind
- – -
Although reassurances
From his doctors
He still believed
That there was something
They weren’t telling him
- – -
Josh fears were based
On good grounds
Since his father and uncles
In their eighties
Had lost their sight
When they were quite young
- – -
We do get perturbed by such things..sometimes, these worries harm more than the ailment itself..
