“I’m fine,” the man said with a confident grin.
“I see every speck and the freckles of skin.”
But Jesus just sighed and replied with a frown,
“You think you see up, but you’re really quite down.”
“If you were blind,” he said, kind and clear,
“You’d have no guilt. you’d have nothing to fear.
But you claim you see. You boast and you brag—
So your pride keeps you stuck in a spiritual snag.”
They looked at one another and blinked in dismay,
“Are we the blind ones?” they said. “No way.”
But the more they insisted, they knew every sign,
The more it was clear. they were blind and not fine.
So here is the lesson, from Jesus, the guide:
Don’t trust your own sight if it’s twisted by pride.
The ones who admit that they’re broken and small,
Will see with his light, and he’ll heal them all.
