English sonnet about a man who lost his vision.

His garden held such beauty all could see
His wife brought glory to the morning’s glow
His children danced with ladies where they’d grow
As flowers filled the air from every tree

A scene the man would never come to know
Of wife caressing daisies happily
And children playing daisies for her glee
Outside those windows lost so long ago

Perhaps a breeze recalls the reason why
The man found purpose peering through a shade

They all recall he didn’t even try
To see the world he made begin to fade

And as they sadly cry they’re taken by
Cascades of darkness where his eyes now wade
