“Love”

Rebecca Kent

So many men, have tried their pen,

On explaining what is love

It is the hardest act,

Most defining emotion,

Most selfless definition

Of all. . .

Love is patient,

It waits forever,

And doesn’t care at all.

It is gentle, kind,

Forever caring,

And thinks not of itself

Love does not envy,

It always supports,

And never tears one down

It does not boast,

In of itself,

It is not ever proud.

Love is not rude,

It’s always thinking,

Of others that are around.

It always gives

A second chance,

And keeps no record of wrong.

Love does not delight,

In evil around,

But rejoices in the good.

It always protects,

Always trusts,

And tries to only preserve.

Love never fails,

It’s always true,

And remains so indefinitely.

It is the greatest,

Of every virtue,

The hardest of all to be.

[1 Corinthians 13]
