How Do I Love Thee............?
How do I love thee? Let me count the ways……
Yeah, I know you’re right
Someone already used that phrase
A long time ago
So it’s not quite original
But it worked for Liz back when
So I hope she won’t mind
If I borrow it for today and then
Give it back to you
With my own list annexed
How do I love thee? Hell I’ve never even known
How it all began
But all in all we’ve loved and grown
Alongside each other
With smiles and tears and laughter
I love you in the palest light of dawn
As you sleep bare, unashamed
And the filtered light of another morn
Caresses your curves
With patterns for my fingers to trace
I love you in the kitchen, humming a song
Show tunes with breakfast
And even as I sometimes sing along
I wonder how anyone
Can be so cheerful that bloody early?
I love you in the brilliant heat of day
Side by side in the truck
Hitting the yard sales and the way
You turn and query
Should we stop at this one babe?
I love you in the early hours of night
Across the table
Surely this damn word is right?
As we argue our way
Through another Upwords game
I love you in the softness of our bed
Limbs entangled
The smell of your skin filling my head
Sweet kisses
Your hands bringing ecstasy
In all the things we do and say
I love you
Tomorrow, yesterday, today
I love you
In pain, joy, laughter, tears
I love you
Together and apart
I love you
In life and in death
I love you. _________________ Be yourself.............everybody else is taken!

This is so very nice. As I was reading it, I thought this could be very fitting for a wedding ceremony.
Beautiful, Noni!!!!
