* The inspiration, title and two lines in this piece of poetic prose are gratefully borrowed from Elizabeth Barrett Browning's poem, HOW DO I LOVE THEE
"How do I love thee?" I cannot count the ways. My love for thee exceeds the depth, breadth and height I believed my soul, or any soul, could reach. My love for thee soars through the universe, refusing to be contained or held back in any manner. This mighty love surpasses my everyday needs during the day in sun's light and my wildest dreams by candle's flame at night. My heart beats now with the faith and dreams of youth, unfettered by mortal restraints. With every thought, every smile, every word, every touch, every hope and every dream, I love thee more, "and if God choose, I shall but love thee better after death."
