Valentines Day
Today, as we celebrate this day with the one that we love. I have this old, old poem to share with you that means so much. Take time to share your love with your loved one today!
How Do I Love Thee? Let Me Count The Ways…
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.
I love thee to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling out of sight
For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
I love thee to the level of everyday's
Most quiet need, by sun and candle-light.
I love thee freely, as men strive for Right;
I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise.
I love thee with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's faith.
I love thee with a love I seemed to lose
With my lost saints, ---I love thee with the breath,
Smiles, tears, of all my life! ---and, if God choose,
I shall but love thee better after death
By Elizabeth Barrett Browning 1806-1861
