Grandpa.
His eyes are foggy and clear
he can't see colors
sometimes he dresses without match
sometimes i help
i can't even picture life without color
color takes up so much beauty in the world
i wish he could see
i wish he could see my beautiful long red hair without me trying to describe it to him
i wish he could see the sky and the sunset
i wish he could see the amazing patterns on a butterfly
i wish he could see the trees, the water glimmer from the reflections
i wish he could see the sparkle in my grandma's eyes when they gaze apon themselves

I WISH....
