it is hard to translate a peom and without losing it's beauty but hope you enjoy it!



In this world there is many girls ...


Sweet, beautiful and exciting ...


But you must be mad ...


Or feel sympathy for the blind girl ...


She said ...


But I'm in love with you honey ...


I my only wish in this life ...


to live with you and be my wife ...


God has blessed me with money ...


And I think healing is possible ...


She Said ...


if you make me see again ...


I will accept you to be my destiny ...


And I will spend my life with you ...


But ..


Who will donate his eyes for me ...


And accept to live in the darkness ...


One day he was coming running and said ...


I finnaly found a donator ...

you will see God's creation and everything beautiful in life ...


and you will keep your promise to me ...


and be my wife ...


And The day she opened her eyes ...

He was standing holding her hand ...

she Saw him...


and screamed ...

Are you also blind ?!!...

And She cried her bad luck ...


don't be sad, my love ...


You'll be my eyes and guide ...

Will you accept to be my wife now...


She Said ...


Me, be married to a blind ?!


Now, that I can see like everyone ...


He Cryed ...

And said forgive me ...


Who am I to marry me ...


But ....



Before you leave me ...



I want you to promise me ...


That you will take good care of my eyes ...
