I cannot see you Mommy,
when you cuddle me so near.
And yet I know you love me,
it's in the words I hear.

I cannot see you Daddy,
when you hold me by your side,
But still I know you love me
when you tell me so with pride.

I cannot see to run and play
out in the sun so bright
For here inside my tiny head
it's always dark as night.

I cannot see the treats you give
when I am extra good
But I can wag my tail in Thanks
just like a good dog should.

"She cannot see. The dogs no good"
is what some folks might say
"She can't be trained, she'll never learn
She must be put away."

But not you, Mom and Daddy
You know that it's all right
Because I love you just as much
as any dog with sight.

You took me in, you gave me love
and we will never part
Because I'm blind with just my eyes,
I see you in my heart.
