    Winning Poem


    A world of darkness.

    A world so blurry.

    A grandparent who longs to see the face

    of a grandchild.

    An individual with headaches.

    A child who hates school.

    A letter left unread.

    An undiagnosed disease.


    A world now bright and colorful.

    A world that is crisp.

    A grandchild's clear smile.

    An individual whose head no longer

    hurts.

    A child who now loves to read.

    A person's day enriched by a note from a

    friend.

    A disease caught in time to treat.


    A life more rich and beautiful.


    Optometrists enable people to live life

    the the fullest. That is who I want to be.
