Every Day I am asked 
"How are You ?" 
My response is always 
"Fine, thank you " 
What I would really like to say is 
"Yes ~ I am O.K. " 

I Have My Sight.... 
although not perfect 
I can still see the glorious sunsets, the antics of a puppy, the smile of a child.. 
and the most important... 
I can see if there are any bugs in my food.. 

I Have My Hearing 
even though impaired 
I can hear the music that  takes the wrinkles out of my day ...I can hear 
others tell me ~ they love me ! 
And every morning I can  hear the snap, crackle, pop ~ even if it isn't cereal.. 

I Have My sense Of Smell 
although marred with allergies 
I could tell if the house is on fire ~ 
or the baby needs changing~ oh and isn't it heavenly to smell that 
first cup of coffee in the morning ? 

I Still Have My Sense Of Taste 
I can tell when something has gone bad or sour.... 
Even though I have to wonder about my own cooking sometimes ...LoL 

I Still Have My sense Of Touch 
even though some people say i am really touched  ... 
The joy of touching another , loving another , petting your dog, makes 
you feel you are not alone... 

I am o.k.  you see 
I can walk 
even though I may stumble 
I can talk 
sometimes without stopping ~ 
I can laugh 
even when nothing is funny 
and I can cry 
anytime I want to. 
In fact 
I think 
I am better than just Okay !! 
How about you 
my friend ?
