I See Love

I see love
wetting a napkin
cleaning a frowning face

I see love
holding a pocketbook
outside the ladies dressing room

I see love
walking slowly
holding hands

I see love
hurrying to keep up
laughing

I see love weeping
the joy of a life together
seeping out

I see love
looking back at me

I know love
for I have been seen
                             …………loving

Dear John, I should say this is one of the beautiful pieces that teaches me a lot. I should see love in everything. This is true love. I've known this but forgotten. Thank you for reminding me of this.
