Blind
He's sitting at the table
a mug of coffee in front of him
searching with his old hand
to the ear of it
He listens to his grand child
who tells him about school
about the progresses she is making
with the reading program
Then she opens a book
and starts to read for him
at the end she looks up
to see his eyes are filled with tears
He tells her he is very proud
and that it's a real privilege
to listen to her angel voice
so very special to him
