How much do I love thee?

How much do I love thee?
Maybe the breeze that comes
From my place at the mountains
To yours by the sea
Can tell you.

How much do I love thee?
Maybe the stars in the sky
That love the night so
And shine just for you and me
Can tell you.

How much do I love thee?
Maybe the flowers that bloom
At the dawn of spring
With their fragrance travelling miles
Can tell you.

How much do I love thee?
Maybe the birds and animals
That love earth
And call it home
Can tell you.

Let’s just say
I love thee with the passion of
the earth, the sun, the stars and the moon
With all that I have to all that you are…
that’s how much I love thee.

    Deep and intense. After all, what we can offer to our love, at the end of the journey? Ahh, nothing much, only, the stars I have, the flowers I have, the earth of mine and the sun inside me. Lovely poem Suchita. Loved the end so deeply.
