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" ---- 3/26/16

It's not what your eyes see, it's what your heart knows. Great rhyme scheme, such an endearing piece!
