THE SENSE IN LOVE

What we see, taste, touch or feel
Cannot dictate what is real

And what our senses take to heart
Only tell the truth in part

For tastes will cloy and feeling change
As sight and sound both lose their range

If love is real it won't be bound
By pleasant feeling sight or sound

Nor limits of the human race
But pass the bounds of time and space

Without a doubt true love is wealth
The very life of God Himself
