How do I love thee

       Let me count the ways

       I have loved thee I know

       Before my earthly days

       For I have loved thee

       Before time itself began

       We were as one you see

       Before the dawn of man

       The world of spirit

       Universal time and space

       Infinitesimal, undying

       A perpetual pace

       Deep within our souls

       Lies a seed that grows

       Watered daily by a love

       Only a kindred spirit knows

       Dear beloved soul mate

       Our hearts and spirits blend

       And this, our very special love

       Will forever onward wend.
