To Measure
Love
I
measure
love in
moments
spent with
you,
dim
candlelight,
touch of
your hand
on mine,
delightful
kisses
soft as
morning
dew,
caresses
tingling
up and
down my
spine.
I measure
love when
out of my
dire need
I reach
for you in
times of
weariness.
You always
find the
time to
gently
lead
and walk
beside me
through my
dark
distress.
I measure
love not
by the
words you
say,
but by
your
soothing
hand upon
my head
when I am
sick; the
kind and
thoughtful
way
that you
take
charge and
tuck the
kids in
bed.
My
dearest
spouse,
your
loving
acts
convey
by far
much more
than
simple
words
could say.
