Eye-Cup Lenses

I wear glasses,
Since the second grade,
That would be 1967, or so.
Wow! I feel old.

My first pair
Showed me the world,
In wonderful clarity!
Now, I’m old.

I share my glasses
With replaced lenses,
Glossed over in 2010.
How, I wonder.

My last pair,
Shadowed me the world,
In compounded blurrity.
Holy Cow! I’m old…

I've worn glasses since the third grade, bifocals since the 5th ... and now that I'm old, they've quit focaling. :/ Sometimes wish I didn't have to see the world in all its ugliness ... thought provoking, once again, Erin. Well done.

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla. :(

Yep I must go back as far as you too for I got my firs glasses when I was about eight and for days I was amazed at the things I saw for up until then everything had been in an opaque type of haze..

Not as old as me, I was in second in 1961...& I didn't need glasses till I was like 28, fresh out of 3 years serving with dept of Corrections of NJ...the least they could do is pay for my eyes to be fixed, but...Holy Moly, I am older than you, who'd a thunk it...;-) e
