Shared Love Poem by Charles Garcia

When I say “All my Love”
What does it mean?
For I cannot give you all my love.
For others are there to share. You
See.
My love of 'God” takes all preferences,
My love for wife and family.
My associates and friends, without any
Of them I can’t survive, as all are a part
Of me.
My love for nature, the birds, animals in
The field;
The mountains and the seas, the clouds in
The sky, without we can’t survive, for they
Spread the Thistles and the seeds oft times
Which, without we can’t survive, as a sustenance of life.
So when I say, “I love you” that’s only a part of it,
As I share my love for all humanity.
That’s plain, and it has to be.
