Analysis of A Precious Gift



If our love was blind,
 I would find a way to see it
 If it was unable to speak,
 I would find a way to say it

And if it was unable to hear
 I would find a way to listen
 But our love isn't blind
 It sees from within our hearts, minds, and souls

Love is a very precious gift and to receive,
 but once it is lost,
 It can never be returned in the same way again
 Love can't be measured in size or strength

For it is what is within our heart
 And it can't be described in every way
 For we all love differently !
