Love Is
Love is patient and will always wait,
for the right moment then not hesitate.
Love is so kind and thinks only the best
and will withstand the most arduous test.
Love does not envy but gives all away.
It does not count the cost it has to pay.
Love does not boast, but with its' humble deeds
reaches out tenderly and intercedes.
Love is not proud nor acts arrogantly.
But always gives so extravagantly.
Love is never obscene or ever rude
and speaks only sweetness in servitude.
Love is not self-seeking but just desires
only the best for the one it admires.
Love does not get angry or get annoyed
but will hold its peace and conflict avoid.
Love keeps no account of the wrongs we do.
Cancels debts past, present and future too.
Love hates evil and in truth rejoices,
it speaks out against all lying voices.
Love always protects the one it desires,
and does not grow weary and never tires.
Love will always trust and will never doubt,
and in complete confidence reaches out.
Love will hope beyond the improbable,
and will always do the impossible.
For Love never fails and continues on,
and it will be there when all else has gone.
