Each key does its part to form a dot

I press down hard to form a dot

To write my braille, to write my braille

Each verse will use the fingers for that each letter of the alphabet.

Examples:

I use this finger (left index) to make the letter A, see how it presses to make the letter A

I use these fingers (left index and middle) to make the letter B, see how they press to make the letter B.
