Conversion Chart for My Husband

My love for you
cannot be measured
by any inability to climb out of bed
at five am and run in the dark
with you.

My love for you
cannot be measured
by the six piles of laundry
lying in the bedroom
floor.

My love for you
cannot be measured
by another uncooked dinner
abandoned for the clatter
of my keyboard.

My love for you
is better than exercise,
larger than laundry, free-er
than the pizza delivery,
and all yours.
