New Glasses

WriteBeLight

 

My old glasses were slipping,

Off my face were falling.

I can’t think of anything,

Just so annoying.

 

So, I got some brand new,

Glasses sharp and clear,

They really fit great,

Where they sit upon my ears.

 

My prescription changed.

Seems my eyes improved.

Doctor says it was the Kale,

For daily lunch, I choose.

 

Thus, I have a fresh face,

I love my new lens.

The frames are really cute,

I look great, I can’t pretend.

 

Don’t mean to sound smug,

I’m not trying to brag.

Worn glasses since I was ten,

With my new look, I’m really glad!

      Thanks Dear Brian! I like to change things once and a while and I have to wear them all the time. So, had some fun this time 🙂

        Ha Ha. So kind of you Fay! I am glad the lens do not have to get much stronger. All that great salad I have every lunch! Never knew my eyes would improve 🙂

        Hello old friend. I am sure you look fetching. But it's not ,about looks is it?

        • WriteBeLight

          Augustus!!! My dear poet pal... No, not about looks. I have been wearing glasses since the 4th grade. I am happy that my eyes are doing great. Tried contacts, but I find them to be annoying. But, Augustus! I am so happy to hear from you. I have missed you very much and think of you everyday, hoping you are succeeding in your journey. Please do try to stay in touch more regularly!!! I can only imagine how difficult life is for you right now. Please know that I think of you and pray that you beat down the bully you are facing. So, so great that you stopped by!

            You note is so meaningful to me. Nice to be missed. This disease had me physically drained, mentally tired and scared. I am not sure how much longed I'll be able to think, to write, but responses like yours I do miss and I am certain help to sustain me. Yea I did not do well with contacts either.

            The right glasses are just spiffy
            When you look out they work jiffy
            Those looking in just get wishy
            YAY ! new glasses are so nifty .

              Thanks swingline! I just love to get new glasses. These are different, but I think they are very trendy 🙂

              Brilliant !!!!!
              I change them
              Every year...
              But alas no kale
              And so stronger
              Lenses....
              Love this poem...

              • WriteBeLight

                Thanks P.H. I was so happily surprised when the Doctor told me that my eyes were stronger, so less power was needed to see clearly. I am so fortunate. Love your look though in your shades 🙂

                • P.H.Rose

                  Ha ha ... thanks
                  They're my old
                  Police shades
                  My wife keeps
                  Telling me to
                  Get new ones

                  I always getin a muddle choosing specs - so many to chose from - also only change mine every 2/3 years - with bifocals they are so very expensive despite the fact that my daughter is an optician and I get them at quite a discount - pleased yours are okay.

                  • WriteBeLight

                    I have trifocals and when people try them on they cannot believe how strong the lens are. It is expensive and I try to choose the cheapest frames that have a much character as possible. I work at the computer a lot, so I do have to go for a check up every 2 years. That is so terrific that your daughter is an optician! Congrats!! You must be so very proud!

                    New glasses can always help you see the world in a better light. Good write.

                    • WriteBeLight

                      Thanks Goldfinch! Everyone in my family needs them. So, it can get very expensive, especially that my two kids wear contacts, that I still help them with. I figure, if I have to wear them all the time, that I will have some fun with the frames. 🙂
