I walked many a year in a field of roses seeing only the thorns <br />Forgetting to look at the one that lingered through all seasons <br />I never thought of taking the bull by its horns <br />Numerous times I passed all reasons <br /> <br />Long and many a year passed and I never thought… <br />You could be the one to open my eyes <br />My heart closed and overwrought <br />With past promises and lies <br /> <br />Blessed, I see a rose that has never faded <br />That remained through many a storm <br />Outside the window of my soul, sweet love’s serenaded <br />Old eyes now completely transformed <br /> <br />Ever so patient until I realized…. It was you <br />My love who has given me new sight <br />The rose I had walked by…. that remained true <br />Now lies within my heart and beside me every night<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-new-sight/
