How Do I Love Thee?

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways.

I love thee when you get mad at us for not finishing the food on our plate.

I love thee when you unapologetically call out someone when she's late.

I love thee when we triumphantly irk the hell out of our 'ma(rio)nager'.

I love thee for your unwavering smile that makes someone's day brighter.

I love thee for always putting everyone else's first before your needs or requirements.

I love thee for the scoldings, confidence boosts and generous compliments.

I love thee even though I get scared whenever you are on your BE(a)ZZ(t) mode.

I love thee for you have your ways of easing someone's load.

I love thee for you're one of the few persons who attentively listens to my endless chatters.

I love thee for whenever I need a hand yours never falters.

I love thee cause you're like the "Ate" I never had.

I shall but love thee better even when you're in a far away land.
