Love’s Blindfold

How far is night from day?

Not far!

It’s a golden flash right before my eyes.

 

Seems like seconds ago, you were a tiny baby,

So helpless, needing my every minute.

Now, adorable ‘coos’ of growth fill the air.

Little fingers curiously grasp life’s essence.

 

Oh, time has passed, my dear.

Only, I couldn’t see it,

Beneath love’s thick blindfold.
