Followed Him

The blind man, beside the road
calling to our savior, asking for healing
from the depth of his faith, the knowing
who he was, the messiah
calling from his darkness, his prison
ignoring the doubters, calling to the Lord
for his sight to be restored
to be able to see once more
In seeing, he saw, what he must do
he followed Him, more sure even
than the disciples,
for he truly saw
