Searching for Love

I was searching for love in gardens with so many flowers,
I thought I could find it in the scent of lilies and roses,
I spent thousands and thousands of hours,
So much time wasted in the wrong encloses.

I could swear that I heard the love in the beautiful nightingale’s song,
and that I saw it on the many colors of the rainbow,
I was looking and looking all summer long,
I was searching for love every valley and mountain, every path every row.

I was chasing red, green and yellow butterflies,
Hoping to fulfill my vivid dreams,
I was searching for love in the oceans and skies,
In the dreary wilderness, in the rivers and streams.

I was searching for love in the stars at night,
In the golden dust of the moon sifting through the earth,
I was searching for love at dawn, at the start of morning twilight,
In the drops of the rain, in the wind carrying youthful mirth.

I was searching for love I was blind I couldn’t see
her beauty, her soul brought me a happy glow,
True love was waiting patiently next to me,
I found love, and I never let go.
