I don't know if I'll ever understand God, but your poem helps me to better understand the different degrees of human love. I like you has the potential to turn into I love you. Both of those phrases are acceptable. But telling someone that God loves them is being quite presumptuous. No one knows this to be a fact. But I understand that it would be told to someone with the best of intentions and good wishes, so I cannot dispute it. But in my opinion, I would prefer to be told that I am loved by a fellow human being. Human love is no less powerful and meaningful than God's love. The touch and the love of another human being is necessary in our lives. As Buddha said: When you love a flower, you water it daily. Loving words and deeds are the water all humans need on a daily basis. Without that, we wither. Your poem is lovely and inspiring. I especially like your lines: When we add our imagination to His creation......well, the possibilities are endless.
