Since we have just turned 1 year and 10 months, I want to share my favorite poem. I even stole the book from our library just to get myself a copy of this writer's poems. But sadly, the book got stolen too .... from me.... yup, I can be stupid.... :) Anyway, go on, read ...
| How do I love thee? Let me count the ways |
| by Elizabeth Barrett Browning |
 |
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 every day'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 the 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.
