Measure of Love.

If I gave you the Earth and the Moon
that would not be enough

If I gave you Sunrise on the fertile plains of Mars
that would not be enough

If I gave you a distant Planet
where the rocks are diamonds and the sand is gold
that would not be enough

If I gave you Creation
all wrapped up and presented to you as a gift
that would not be enough

If I gave you a river of mercy
a fathomless lake of compassion
that would not be enough

If I gave you endless years
to live and thrive in health and vigour
that would not be enough

If I gave you my shame and my suffering
the blood from my veins and my death
that would be enough
that would be the measure
of how much I love you.
