I don't have the words but she did.....

'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.'             Elizabeth Barret Browning. I told you I didn't have the words to describe my feelings but that was not true. These may not be my words but I know them by heart and I have always loved this poem. So here they are, and I challenge you to come up with something better!!! You can try and catch me out with word-play but I will win!!!  Sue xxx
