I tell you how I love you Try to show you how I feel Yet, since you don't see anything You don't know if it's real. Well, take this empty cup, my dear, And fill it up with air. Make sure you fill it to the brim So I can see it there. Then take this empty glass, my sweet, Catch sunlight from the sky. Then let me lift it to my lips So I can drink it dry. Please take this empty plate, my love And carry it along. I want to see you fill it with A robin's morning song. What's this? The cup is empty! I don't see a thing in there. Does that mean that there cannot be Such a thing as air? I see no sunlight in this glass. Does this mean there is none? No beams of light to brighten day Cascading from the sun? And what about the robin's song? Why, I don't see a thing! Does this mean it's a fallacy To think that robins sing? Now take this cup and glass and plate Enjoy a hearty meal. They're filled with all my love for you. Believe me, dear, it's real. |

Well, my cup certainly runneth over....with gratitude for all of you wonderful people. I thank you..... In order to keep a true perspective of one's importance, everyone should have a dog that will worship him and a cat that will ignore him. |
