Valentine's Lines

For my Small Ones

Do you know how wide love is?

How tall or deep or heavy?

Do you know the shape of love?

The weave or thread or softness?

These things I may not tell you

We may wonder and muse and smile

But the secret of love is this

my small one

Our hearts become the universe

and inside them turns the love we feel

Our hearts become as endless as the sky

full of the flight of birds

and breath of wind

Our hearts become as deep as the ocean

pulsing with current

and twisting with life

These hearts they fill

fill and feel

Feel and grow

until everything and everyone we have ever loved

can fit inside

Like you and you and you and you

And that’s when you know

How wide and tall and deep and heavy

How soft and weighty

That’s when you know that the shape of love

is you.
