Believe

After I saw it I couldn’t believe

but eyes only see what is there

or do they perhaps, do they really,

see what does not exist?

After I heard it I couldn’t believe

but ears take in every sound

or do they perhaps, do they really,

hear everything that is said?

After I touched it I couldn’t believe

but fingers tell mind what is there

but do they perhaps, do they really,

tell all that there is to know?

And when we feel love can we believe,

it is as it is, does what it does,

and touches us all only to be

well and truly known?

But if I can’t see it, touch, hear it,

how can I say, “I know love”

but I do because and only because

I plain and simply believe!
