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.

Nice poem by Elizabeth Barrett Browning. Now, to answer your question, between me and either of my children - no contest. They get everything.

Elizabeth Barrat Browning wrote this lovely peom about the purity
and depth of a womans love, and I hope that I could love like this, I would certainly like to have this passion for someone in my life.

Yes. I can also offer my God given life to somebody I have not met in this life currently also.

God Said "Love Thy Neighbour'
He never said "Give your life to your neighbour to make him happy"
