How Do I Love Thee by Elizabeth Barrett Browning

I thought that this poem was a great representation of what love can be. I can relate to specific lines in this poem including:

  • For the ends of Being and ideal Grace.
  • I love thee freely, as men strive for Right.
  • Smiles, tears of all my life!- and, if God choose, I shall love thee better after death.

These few lines grasp my soul so deeply. Not only has God allowed me to feel this way about His God given gift to me, Thomas, but He has shown me His greatness and His neverending greatness.
