/// Here’s The Milliner as she designed
hand-made headgear that’s one-of-a-kind.
She selects fabrics that
she crafts into a hat.
All by touch, since she’s legally blind.
/// Petite needlework night after night,
for years done under weak candlelight,
put great strain on her eyes,
so it’s no big surprise
that she’s gradually losing her sight.
/// The girl’s customers are well aware
of her unfocused thousand yard stare.
She sees colors, (though blurred).
Her chapeaux are preferred
since they’re made with precise loving care.
/// Nimble fingers and quick-witted brain
worked together for years to retain
the learned skills that reveal
how she does this by feel,
so her customers never complain.
