Varying depths of love you feel.
For each one in your life,
And all of them so very real.
There is the love for our parents,
You know the depths you feel there.
The unbreakable bond that you've created,
There is none to compare.
Then the love we have for our children,
Maternal and Paternal love instilled.
The love that makes us protect them,
The love that will never be killed.
The love we have for our spouse,
Well, now, that too is unique.
The passion and the bond you share,
The kind that people still seek.
Then there's our love for God,
The supreme depth of our love.
This is a different love,
That's reserved for our Lord above.
Then we have our friends,
Now that's a love indeed.
These are the folks we turn to,
In our moments of need.
We love our pets,
They're part of this poem as well.
We invite them into our homes by choice,
And forever in our hearts they dwell.
The different degrees of love,
The depths we cannot conceive.
We know one thing that is certain,
The feelings are hard to believe.
God gave us a heart,
Pulsing life's blood to us each day.
But equally as important it also,
Gives us the ability to say.
" I love you, Mom and Dad",
" Kids, you are my life".
"Rover, go fetch, good boy",
" Honey, I'm glad you're my wife".
" Hey, friend, old buddy of mine",
" God, are you listening to me?"
" Honey, I know just how you feel",
" If you need me, you'll know where I'll be".

I never knew how much love the heart could contain. Nor can you ever fully grasp the extent of that powerful feeling. Like the Tin Man said;" Now I know I have a heart, cause I can feel it breaking". I hope all of you are blessed with an abundance of love in your lives....
