Colours of Love

“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.
