Poetry for the blind.


I had an interesting commission recently.  I was asked to write a poem for a lovely lady to give to her partner for Christmas.  Nothing unusual with that, you may say,  but her partner is blind.

I wrote a poem for her that was made up from her own words and she was really happy with it`s our come . Then I contacted the Royal National Institution of the Blind to ask if they could help.  They were very happy to help and today I received the poem that has been transcribed into braille.

This is such an honour and I am so pleased to be able to send this to my customer and I hope her partner enjoys his Christmas gift.

So never feel that a challenge is impossible as there is always a chance that it is possible. This was the case for me and I am so glad that I took it on.  I have learnt so much and I am so proud of what I have achieved. 

The Poem ...

Stephen

my special boyfriend

can't wait for Christmas with you

I feel such joy and happiness

in everything we do.

I know it will be a special time

every moment we're together

the magic of the festive season

will build memories forever

you're my Christmas dream

I couldn't ask for more

just want to give you all you need

and a future you`re hoping for.
