The Measurment of the Heart

The depth of the heart can not be measured in inches, feet or yards.
It can not be measured in cups, pints or gallons.
I can only be measured by the people in it.
The depth of the heart is measured by the love that it holds for the people that it possesses.
No one can see the love that it holds.
No one can hear the love that it holds.
But only those that the heart truly loves can feel it.
And although one may feel it, they may not receive it.
If one truly loves another, their love will only grow with time.
It will not perish or deteriorate.
It will not disappear or fade.
No matter the distance, it will only grow to be stronger.
But no matter how much that love grows, it is still fragile.
All love is sacred.
Love can be given, but it can also be taken away.
Love although strong enough to last a life time, can be taken away in an instant.
Love has no boundaries.
Love can come from family.
Love can come from friends.
Love can come from anyone.
