The Child Born Without Eyes

The human will to succeed in the face of adversity never ceases to surprise Three years old Jacob Nowak from Millstreet the child born without eyes About to start pre school and in life progressing quite well His story if written in book form millions of copies should sell The child born without eyes he never may see In Spring the lovely pink blossoms on the apple tree Or see the old fields lush and green in April showers Looking quite resplendent in their Nature's flowers The child born without eyes hurling or football never may play Or climb on his own to the cross on Clara on a nice Summer's day The great gift of sight given to most to enjoy Not given to Jacob the brave and beautiful boy Some people about their small worries are known to complain But from a story such as Jacob's such inspiration we do gain From his photo he does not seem unhappy at least not to me How very proud of him his parents must be But miracles happen as some like to say And Jacob may yet look on the lamp of day And above Clara Hill watch the lark upwards fly And hear him sing in the clouds a small speck in the sky And far beyond the borders of Duhallow's countryside He will become famous and known Worldwide Young Jacob in life coping well though born without eyes The human will to succeed in adversity never cease to surprise.
