It Has Been Said...About Love

It takes a minute to find a special person,

An hour to appreciate them,

A day to love them,

But an entire lifetime to forget them.

Valentine's for 41 years...

"How do I love thee? Let me count the ways..."

by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)

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.

Happy Valentine's Day!

May your day be filled with love and joy!
