Seeing Your Full Reflection



Seeing your full reflection in her eyes, not silver glass
Beyond a recognition; placed within the highest class
- is this love?
The days are bright and warmer; galaxies each night explode
Things unseen in times former, beauty brain-etched in a code
- is this love?
Today you are unselfish, finding time though overbooked
For loved ones that you relish; treasures one time overlooked
- is this love?
Children you want suddenly, never considered before
Complete your life with family: pets, boys and girls to adore
- is this love?
Where earth has winter freezes, summer blood flows in your heart
Wafting tropical breezes, soothing comfort to impart
- is this love?
New purpose, meaning and goals; what's important you define
Examine the life paid tolls, whether profane or divine
- is this love?
