Shakespeare wrote a number of sonnets about love and they remain some of the most romantic ever written. The bible also has some beautiful verses about the love between a man and a woman and Elizabeth Barrett Browning’s, “How do I love thee,” is considered by many to be one of the most romantic poems ever written. These verses have stood the test of time and are still read and shared by those who fall in love.
It got me thinking about how we will be remembered for the way we expressed love. Certainly, thanks to the music industry, there are more songs about love today than all of the poems in recorded history and music is nothing more than poetry put to music. So what are we leaving to the generations to come after us? In a hundred years from now, will they still use some of those songs and verses to express their love for someone?
Let’s take a look at some of the modern expressions of love with which we have been blessed and will leave for future generations.
