She never looked deep in his eyes Yet she had no doubt they were true The windows to his endless soul She never saw, she never knew She lived to hear his gentle words They spoke directly to her heart She dreamed they would have forever bliss She knew once together they would not part Yet she never saw his gentle smile Though she did not doubt it beamed for her The thought of it filled her with joy She never before had felt so secure She never gazed at him while he slept His breathing she memorized as her own The wonders he brought to her life Were like no other she’d ever known She longed to feel his skin touch hers His hands gentle, warm, and strong She had no doubt they were a perfect fit She held them as thought they were her own She never saw his love shine Worn with pride upon his face But she held no doubt inside her heart That love had brought them to this place She did not see the ocean blue When they first walked upon the shore She did not see the birds fly by When they promised to love, cherish, and adore His strong arms carried her that day To the paradise they made together The start of a life full of hope She knew they would be happy forever. She did not see…she felt with her heart For sight was a gift she lived without Yet by not viewing with her eyes, She allowed her heart…no doubt. Let my words fall first upon deaf ears before a closed mind... |

She did not see…she felt with her heart For sight was a gift she lived without Yet by not viewing with her eyes, She allowed her heart…no doubt. ================== Well done. |
