"What Does Love See?"

C.J. Ingerson
3/4/99

Verse 1
********

When asked of a soul in mortality,
what do we really want to see?
Do we think in terms of a reality,
or of what others want us to be?

Verse 2
********

A husband or a wife if asked
will say, "the one I truly love."
others their answer will be masked
seeing not the glory of Father above.

Verse 3
********

The righteous person sees what can be
in his eternal companion sent to him.
For he seeks the higher view to see
thus only the beauty of the soul within.

Verse 4
********

Some like many writers like to surely say,
"Any thing like true love is dumb and blind."
Yet it seems as if they've lost their way;
they have never seen a love like yours or mine.

Verse 5
********

True love always seeks to see the others soul;
while lust only sees the desire of another.
Righteous love seeks to see what is whole;
lust only to seeks to destroy the other.

Verse 6
********

So what is it the soul of another now
in this mortal probation to be found?
Is it the eternal in each of us somehow
whispering and hearing the spirits sound?

Verse 7
*******

It seems this more the case would be
for no where else can a soul be known;
than to be within another to now see
as loveliness and only goodness shown.
