IF

If you can find the end of the sea

You’ll know how much I love you

If you can count the stars of the sky

You’ll know how much I love you

If you can count the fishes in the river

You’ll know how much I love you

If you can count the grains of sand at the seashore

You’ll know how much I love you

If you can find the pole that keeps the sky from falling

You’ll know how much I love you

If you can find the beginning or ending of the rainbow

You’ll know how much I love you

If you can find the A or Z in God

You’ll then know how much I love you

Published by Tine

Although I've given myself the pen name Tine Brice, I was born Martine B. Montas in the downtown area of Port-au-Prince, Haïti in February of 1967. I'm a struggling servant of God, prayer warrior, parent, teacher, writer. According to my sons, I'm a role model, an inspiration, a matriarch, an old soul living the legacy. I yearn to be bold enough to publish my first book, to connect with the world on a different level, so as to touch lives through poetry. I seek to comfort hearts that feel alone to lead them to understand that in this world we are all connected! We are one BREATH! MBM-Tine Brice
