How do I love thee?Let me count the ways – Elizabeth Barrett BrowningI love thee as the African sun shines;in the morning wakefulness.I love thee as the birds of air;Fly and sing glorious tunes.I love thee as a summer’s day;as the hot, scotching sun shines.I love thee as the wind blows;The trees sway and danceFor show that Our Father Reigns.I love thee as flowers bloom;In beauty and colour, pink, red, white and blue as the skies.I love thee as trees grow;Tall and wide, from roots below earth to the highest of leaves.I love thee as a mother loves;Patiently, quietly, courageously, Tearfully, generously, wholehearted,Always and always and never ceases.How I love thee...
