BLINDNESS HAS KINDNESS, by                    
First Line: In life's blindness there is kindness
Last Line: To decide e'en our own fate.
Subject(s): Kindness


In life's blindness there is kindness --
How much kindness do we know?

We should faint of fright and panic
Could we see the storms ahead;
We should wander, wild and frantic,
As leaves, wind-tossed, being dead.

When life's scales demand a balance
Of a choice between two gifts,
Both gifts loved and both held precious --
Do we know which weight to life?

No, ah no, we lack the wisdom
Demanded of a question great;
Strength too frail is ours of human
To decide e'en our own fate.
