HB KJ



Happy Birthday KJ.

Nothing original here. The picture has been posted before and so has the poem. Both favorites. Don't know how to say it better but then it still falls short.................

How Do I Love Thee?
Poem lyrics of How Do I Love Thee
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning.

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 candlelight. I love thee freely, as men strive for Right; I love thee purely, as they turn from Praise. I love with a passion put to use In my old grief’s, 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
