“Love is patient; love is kind; love in not envious or boastful or arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irrational or resentful; it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends.” ~1 Corinthians 13:4-8a (NRSV).
Love in motion,
Fear demotion,
A kindness potion,
A patience lotion,
So much more than emotion.
Love:
Truth embraced,
Humility encased,
Reality faced,
Simply chaste;
Never in haste,
Or self-abased,
Or given to distaste;
Just God-spaced.
Love:
Bears iniquity everywhere,
Believes in ways to dare,
Hopes enough to care,
Endures always through prayer.
