When I first learned of color,
I entered a world of vivid possibilities.
When I heard my first sound,
I was no longer at a loss of words.
In the beginning,
Never once did I imagine the day
When it would all start to fade.
As the years past,
The world lost its shimmer.
No longer were the roses as red
Or the words on a page as crisp.
No longer was thunder's clap as loud
Or song of the wind as melodious.
Never once did I imagine
a gift once gained
would be stolen away.

When I first learned of color,
I entered a world of vivid possibilities.
When I heard my first sound,
I was no longer at a loss of words.
In the beginning,
Never once did I imagine the day
When it would all start to fade.
As the years past,
The world lost its shimmer.
No longer were the roses as red
Or the words on a page as crisp.
No longer was thunder's clap as loud
Or song of the wind as melodious.
Never once did I imagine
a gift once gained
would be stolen away.
