Poetry: The Blind Rower / Wildred Wilson Gibson


The following poem was originally posted for Fathers Day:

The Blind Rower
- Wilfred Wilson Gibson

And since he rowed his father home,
His hand has never touched an oar.
All day he wanders on the shore,
And hearkens to the swishing foam.
Though blind from birth, he still could row
As well as any lad with sight;
And knew strange things that none may know
Save those who live without the light.
