How Should I Love

This is a poem I wrote last September for my wife, Vicki.

How should I love Thee?
As Christ loved the Church –
Freely – with abandon
Of all that does not belong
In “I Love You”

How should I love thee?
As Christ loved the Church –
Completely – and in
That universe contains all
Love.

How should I love thee?
As Christ loved the Church –
So sweetly – and in
The few hours remaining
Wash Thy feet
– My Beloved.

Ephesians 5:25 ; John 13:1-17
