Shadow of fate

In a park where the cherry trees bloom, Aidan stood with camera in zoom. He looked through the lens with careful eyes, Capturing moments as they arise. Ellra walked by, into the frame, A picture-perfect, unplanned claim. "Oops, did I ruin your photo?" she said, With a giggle and shake of her head. "No, it's perfect with you there," he smiled, And they talked 'bout the blossoms, beguiled. They left the park, the day was done, To develop the photo, In his darkroom they’ve gone, But in a room where photos were made, A mishap occurred, and Ellra was afraid. She spilled some liquid, oh so strong, And her world went dark, something was wrong. Aidan rushed to help his new friend, To the hospital, they did quickly wend. The doctors worked with skill so fine, And soon her eyes opened, blue as brine. When Ellra saw Aidan once more, She realized something not seen before. Aidan's sight was gone, a sacrifice, For her blue eyes, he paid the price. Ellra learned from Aidan's gift, That friendship is a precious lift. And though life's paths may twist and turn, There's always love for which to yearn. In a park where the cherry trees bloom, Aidan stood with camera in zoom.
