THE MEASUREMENT OF LOVE
"I love you so much, Mommy,"
The child caught her mother's eye,
"See how much I love you,"
She held her arms out wide.
"Oh, sweetheart," said her mother,
"I love you so much, too,
Why, I can't even measure
All the love I have for you."
"Mommy, how do you measure love?"
Asked the child, wondering how,
Hmm ... her mother stopped to ponder,
A furrow formed upon her brow.
"Love can't be marked by rulers,
Or weighed upon a scale,
It can't be measured in a cup,
Or with a spoon or pail."
"It can't be counted out like coins.
Nor put away for rainy days,
The more, it seems, some people have,
The more they give away."
"Love is valued differently,
And it's very hard to measure,
To some poor souls it's worthless,
While to others it's a treasure."
"There are many kinds of love,
Though they're basically the same,
All love starts within the heart,
Where it's nourished and sustained."
"Love can make a life worthwhile,
Though, its depth and breadth cannot be checked,
But when love's around, folks have found
The full extent of its effect."
"The twinkle in a person's eye,
The smile on a loved one's face,
Both are signs of love-at-work,
Though no measurement has taken place."
The attentive child sat and thought,
As she listened to those words,
But she really didn't understand
Everything she heard.
So again she said, "I love you,"
With her baby arms outstretched,
"That's all the love I got," she said,
Somewhat troubled and perplexed.
"Oh, honey, that's the way you do it,
That's how you really measure love,"
Then her mother opened wide her arms,
And gave her unmeasured hugs.

you are my everything
the dream we had that day
i haven't forgotten it yet
you are my dream
we'd just gotten started
now it's time to start moving
everyday brings a new shining day
i wanna see you, it lights my soul on fire
but now, we say farewell to the fun days
i go the distance with you beside
the sky watches over us, and that is proof
i try to get started
this is my final forever routine
you are my love
the dream we had that day
i haven't forgotten it yet
you are my dream
making my life so worthwhile
i love you even when i'm a million miles away
all i want is just to be with you
thank you dear
for all you have given me
be it day or night
my heart will always be with you
and so will my love for you
this is my lifelong promise to you
I LOVE YOU *muacks*

Dream On.
broken, pale wings.
you're just a little tired of the overly blue sky.
you don't have to keep smiling for someone else.
it's ok to smile for your own sake.
even now, with the loneliness creeping up on me.
inside me there is a lit candle.
unlike that expensive chandelier,
extinguished over time.
is it okay to fill the hollowness from my lack of words with tears?
i just don't understand anymore.
at the least, in my dreams
if i could swim freely, there would'nt be a need for a sky anymore.
even without painting over the things from yesterday.
i could head forward tomorrow
broken, pale wings.
you're just a little tired of the overly blue sky.
