Oh, what a happy soul am I! Although I cannot see,
I am resolved that in this world, contented I will be.
How many blessings I enjoy that other people don't;
To weep and sigh because I'm blind, I cannot, and I won't.

Source: Poem written at age 8.
-- Fanny Crosby, (Mar 24 1820-1915), US hymn writer; She was blinded at 6 weeks due to improper medical treatment, but wrote over 9,000 hymns during her life.
