Love is a nod from across the room.
Love is a knowing wink.
Love is a laugh from my heart's full bloom.
Love is a pause to think.
Selflessly, wholly, of what is shares.
Threaded by man and wife,
Quietly weaving till unaware,
Love is the whole of life.
Love is an arm to support an arm.
Love wipes away a tear.
Love speaks of love with a special charm.
Love is a listening ear.
Love is a squeeze of a gentle hand
Saying what words can't say.
Knowing such love makes one understand
God in a wiser way.

4)Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. 5)It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. 6)Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. 7) It always protects, always trusts, always hope, always perserveres. 8) Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away. 9)For we know in part and we prophesy in part, 10)but when protection comes, the imperfect disappears. 11)When I was a child, I talked like a child, I reasoned like a child. When I became a man, I put childish ways behind me. 12)Now we see but a poor reflection as in a mirror; then we shall see face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I am fully known. 13)And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. (I Corinthians 13: 4-13) |
