I do so love Thee!

I do so love Thee!

Ah, I remember in my younger days—usually when I was in love—I wrote poetry. Clearly, it was not my calling to write ‘odes,’ but I sure do appreciate them! Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s work has great appeal for me, such as:

I love thee to the level of everyday's Most quiet need, by sun…
