How Do I Love Thee

HOW DO I LOVE THEE?  

How do I love thee?  'Til death us do part
I love thee from the farthest reaches of my heart

I love thee as roses love sunshine
I love thee because God allowed you to be mine

I love thee more now than I did from the first
I love thee so much that my heart could burst

I love thee like sea shells love the seashore
I love thee now and forevermore

I love thee from the farthest reaches of my heart
How do I love thee?  'Til death us do part

Thanks, Tim! Sometimes I write things as to how the world would be a better place if people would just look around and see how Blessed we are as a nation. This poem, by definition, is one of those times to me.
