1st Corinthians
Brenda G. Williams 1966 (Fayetteville)
Love is patient,
And love is kind.
It does not envy,
and hard to find.
It does not boast,
for love's not proud.
It won't dishonor
or love a crowd.
Love seeks not self.
It's slow to anger,
records no wrong,
each day to savor.
Delights not evil;
it lives in truth.
Always protects,
long after youth.
Love always hopes.
Love always trusts.
It will persevere;
But all up to us.
