They say that love is blind, But my love for you isn't: My heart is with my mind, My soul is with my reason. I know why I love you, And it's completely real: And unified and true: I think it, and I feel it: I love you for your heart, Your sweetness and compassion, I love you since you're smart And filled with joy and passion, I love you for your warmth And excellence and wisdom; For lights that through you course In every time and season - For beauty that you are Both outside and inside, Because you are a star In nature and in mindset - I love you for you will To help, and for your honor: For where you've gone and been And came out all the stronger: I love you for your grace And for your dedication To good deeds; your soft face And glorious inspiration - For your resplendent gifts And what you're doing with them - And all you are - it is Completely true to reason: I love you for your light And unremitting kindness All times of day and night - No, my love is not mindless: I love you for I see The wonder that you're truly And from it comes to be The passion reasoned fully: My heart and mind are clear And doubt they both cast out And there is nothing here That's blind or not thought out: I love you with my mind And heart and strength and spirit No, my love is not blind - It's unified: So feel it. https://sites.google.com/site/ibshambatpoetry
