I thought I would do a little Valentine's tribute to my husband, Dave! This is my favorite poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning from Sonnets from the Portuguese, and this is how I feel about Dave. I don't know where I would be without him and I'm just thankful that he is my Eternal companion and we can be together forever!
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 candlelight.
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.
