So before I go to bed, I'll leave you all with this: Beautiful and one of my best. How would you like somone to be able to say things like this to you. I'd love it! You all know it well.
"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."
by Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
Gee I am a silly old romantic at heart. G'nite all. Be dropping in tomorrow.
