Valentine's Day is fast approaching, and I am a romantic at heart! So, from today until February 14, I'll be posting some of my favorite love poems. They won't always be what you might expect! But to start it off, one of the most well known of all.
From "Sonnets from the Portugese" 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 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.
Let's "share the love" and post some of your favorite pictures of "love". Here's a few of mine!
My step-daughter, Angie and her daughter, Ely
