It’s Not What You See

A voice so filled with music a smile that is so kind
No longer could she see, for life had left her blind.
Darkness does not scare her, her heart so filled with light
Memories are all she has to keep her warm at night.

In the park, upon a bench, beneath a tree of willow
People pass without a glance, yet she nods and says Hello.
I saw a couple take a seat and her story she did tell
Of a love that was so deep, one she remembered well.

We were just  your age the day when we first met
A handsome man he was his face I can’t forget.
I saw a twinkle in her eye as she peered into her past
To see Visions of her love; her heart was beating fast.

Our Love was pure as rain as true as the azure sky
You two share the same, just trust me; please don’t ask me why.
She whispered something in their ears this woman she was bold
The couple looked at her in awe not questioning what she told

She offered them her secret, of keeping love alive
It is not what you see; it’s what you feel inside.
Soul mates are forever and when things aren’t so right
Go to one another and hold each other tight.

Embrace your fears together with this you can’t go wrong
The powers will look over you for they are deep and  strong
Trust my words I tell you  always your Love will live
I’ll bless you two with this gift its all I have to give.

They hugged the woman warmly as they got up to leave
The couple said together; Yes we do believe.
Thank you for the precious gift and they walked away
How did this woman know it was their Wedding Day.

Upon the news of her death it made me shed a tear
So her gift I will pass on for those who care to hear.
I will tell you of her secret, of keeping love alive
It is not what you see; it’s what you feel inside.

Nearly made me cry. I loved this. It had a musical quality that just begged to be read.
