Love Conquers All

We met at a reception just by chance.
Could it have been some sweet love at first sight?
I gave her a long penetrating glance
Orange hair, shapely cheeks and lips red bright.

I smiled, and invited her to dinner.
She accepted, and I felt elated
A lavish bistro, sure was a winner.
How grateful I felt that we had dated.

A bottle of white wine, and gourmet food,
Somehow we exchanged many of our views
Time came for us to part, but sad the mood,
She would not accept to meet, 'twas bad news.

I saw some tears that flowed down her sweet face.
I asked why, I had to really know
She was deaf an irreparable case.
She could only lip-read, life was a blow.

Gently I pushed her face next to my lips,
One loves despite all things that can be wrong.
We'll stay happy as written in our scripts.
Our lasting love will forever be strong.
