How Do You Measure Love? Poem by Margaret Franceschini

With every breath and sigh
Cold winds blow by
Remembering winters past
Promises of friendship to last

I remember you
In everything I do

How do you measure love
Through what we have done
Memories of past
Stored forever last

Time marches on with no ending
There was no future from the beginning
Just Connection
That I cannot loose
All because of you

Watching the birds take their feeding
Then hiding in their shelter of needing
Your covering was our affection
And so we lost our direction

I lost my breath
And then I sigh
Promises foregone
There is no song
How do you measure love?
When there is none
