How do I love you?||Poem

How I love you, I will try to explain. I love you with all the depth, breadth and height that my soul can reach.

I love you to the level of the quietest daily need. I love you with the sun and the light of the lamp.

I love you with the passion I once put into my old laments. I love you with the faith of my childhood.

I love you with the tenderness I thought I lost.

I love you with the breath, smiles and tears of all my life and if God permits I will love you as long as we both shall live.
