Measure not my love <br />with roses and gifts, <br />songs and praises, <br />with minutes and hours <br />with diamonds and gold, <br />but darling measure my love <br />with the tender words <br />i wrote for you in the <br />endless nights, <br />the prayers that <br />i prayed in every temple, <br />measure my love like a mother <br />to a child, without boundaries, <br />with the laughter we laughed, <br />and the warmth we spread, <br />love that we shared <br />and gave it to others, <br />but surely, measure my love <br />with the life that we gave <br />to love itself, yours and mine.<br /><br />Reshma Ramesh<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/valentines-day-poem-size-of-it/
