HOW DO I LOVE HOCKEY
How do I love hockey?
Let me count the ways.
I love hockey
to the depth and breadth and height
My soul can reach, when feeling sight of it
For the ends of idol
Being and ideal Grace.
I love hockey
to the level of everyday's
Most exciting
need, by thrill and sports-highlight.
I love hockey
freely, as men strive for Right;
I love hockey
purely, as they turn from football.
I love hockey
with a passion put to use
In my old griefs, and with my childhood's dreams.
I love hockey
with a love I seemed to never
lose
With my lost pucks,
--- I love hockey with the breath of every stride,
Smiles, tears, of all
my life! --- and, if God choose,
I shall but love hockey
better before death
"How do I love Hockey? Let me count
the ways..." By Jaxon I Ward (1999-PRESENT)
inspired By Elizabeth Barrett Browning (1806-1861)
