A breakfast made from the heart
and a gift inspired by my Tart
To be frank, we don't need this holiday to remind us how much we love each other... But it's always a great excuse to buy each other gifts that we can say, "Hey! I bought that for you last valentine's day."
Today, I'd also like to share a poem that was read by my Lolo Laureano to my Lola.
How do I love Thee?
By: Elizabeth Barret Browning
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.
