How do I love Thee?
May I never count the ways,
But let the moments of each day,
Each bring a new way, a different meaning to my love.

Why do I love Thee?
May I never find the reason,
For as God created all things in beauty and in purpose,
Let my love too find the beauty and purpose in all you are.

When do I love Thee?
Let there be a time for creation and a time to realize all things
But let my love for Thee be a realization of creation in all things,
With time but a wistful memory.
