Eye Know The Answer

When we get older we gain experience

Through experience we gain knowledge

There are times when we have to understand and accept life as it is

So we can move forward

Here is one of those times

My wife waking up and one of her eyes are itchy

It just doesn't feel right

It looks know different

Just don't rub it is my advice

Maybe you scratched in your sleep last night ?

No I don't think so

I don't remember having any problems with my eye yesterday

So as the day goes on I forget all about her eye

So she reminds me again it feels odd

I look again and this time it looks a little red

So I say don't rub it you are just going to irritate it and maybe scratch you eye

Perfect advice I thought I could give

I heard if you put warm compresses on it it will feel better

So the day goes on like normal nothing else said or done

All forgotten or not really

Honey look at your eye it looks puffy and a little more red now

I told you

It wasn't there before

Should I call the doctor ?

For what?

Lets wait and see

Later that day

Presto

The eye lid has a little white pimple on it

I told you it was something

Your right

So after seeking the advice of a good friend\ nurse

It is a pig stye

Just put tea bags on it and it will be fine

The tea bags will draw out the infection

It is a pain but in a few days it will go away

So when nothing you did seems out of the ordinary

When you are neither sick or sad

You have to go to work and use your eyes to see

Occasionally( I joke)

This day will soon be forgotten and you will be back to your normal self in no time soon

Now it feels better since it must of come to a head and popped on its own

Your body finds a way to heal itself with a little help

I know this isn't the most favorite of subject to think about

But it is life and it happens

So lets peice together the odds and ends

Lets see through the eye of the needle

What life is trying to teach us here

We take these trying times and find a way to make them better

If we find a way to poke a little fun

An eye infection that could be so much worse

This is definitely an eye opener

It makes me think of how lucky we are every day

When our eyes just do their thing

Never giving them a thought

Seeing for us and making life so easy

When so many things can happen to them and throw off your day

That can put a little cramp in your syle

Well lets put a lid on this and get on with a great day

I will have to be healthy for two of us and find a way to keep our spirits up

You will get better and I just want to let you know

You are never far from my thoughts and I can't wait to look into your beautiful brown eyes and see just brown looking back at me

I can't imagine a life of a fighter

Getting socked in the eyes more often than most

I think my views on life would be far different

Cloudy at best and always on guard

Even on a good day I think I would be in a fog

On a bad day I would feel my head pounding and my eyes closed shut

Irritated and aggrivated always

A fighters life is not the life for me

So as I go to work and my wife squints her way

Tomorrow will be another day

Hopefully much different than today
