Full Measure
Eight ounces in a coffee cup
Sixteen ounces in a pound
Both of these are things that you
Can wrap your mind around
Super-tankers plying the seas
Hold millions of gallons of oil
And weeks and years is how we see
Our lives and the time that we toil
Sixty seconds in a minute
Twenty-four hours in a day
Everything we know and have
Is measured in this way
We can quantify everything we know,
But if I might be so bold
Is there anyone that can tell me
How much love a heart can hold?
