Love Is Blind

The choices we make in love can surprise
 Because it sees not with the eyes
 It looks within the tender heart
 As its healing power it imparts

 Love  sometimes comes  at first sight
 And give the soul great delight
 It can even grow over time
 For reasons with or without rhyme

 Love can travel over seas
 And catch the whisper of the breeze
 Love can drizzle just like rain
 It can come and go again

 Love can fall like gentle snow
 And soothe the soul in summer's glow
 Love can blossom in the spring
 In its fragrance the heart will sing

 Love is what will see us through
 Through thick and thin it's there with you
 And when you find a love that's true
 You'll be glad to say "I do"

 Love can do all this and more
 For this ailment there's no cure
 Love can even blow your mind
 And it does all this, while being "blind"
                        ----
