HOW MUCH? How much I love thee, do you ask So feeble I to meet the task Naught answer in my heart I find To soothe a little child mind For God has blessed me by His grace With mother's love and child's face But then forgot He to impart A measure for a mother's heart Nor did He then create a sea To hold the love I have for thee Nor galaxy so vaste above To match the fathoms of my love Wisdom numbs the mother's tongue Of child's question sweetly sung But does her heart so tender touch The angel lyrics of "How much?"

Elizabeth - Beautiful. No answer to the question of 'how much' does a mother love ... the yardstick starts in the cradle and stretches to the heavens above. Beyond all reason, each and every season. Always more than yesterday, never more than tomorrow. ------------------ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Marge, A mother's heart who knows the feel Of love for child and love that's real But God the only one who knows The measure of a Crimson Rose Elizabeth |

Denise, Denise, Denise, Poet of grace Has looked upon the child's face Though other mother lost for word She sang a song the angels heard For never lacking from her heart The golden strains of angel harp So beautious always her refrain Like softness of a summer rain Elizabeth |
