Love endures long and is patient,
waiting for the Holy Spirit's afferent.
Love is always kind,
reaching out to all mankind.
Love is never envious or jealous,
but for their blessing we are zealous.
Love is never boastful or vainglorious,
instead believes all are meritorious.
Love does not display itself haughtily,
and seeks instead humility.
Love is not conceited or puffed up in pride,
but depending on truth to keep it in stride.
Love is not rude and doesn't act unbecomingly,
willing instead to be gentle and mannerly.
Love does not insist on its own rights or its own way,
yielding to others all through the day.
Love is not self-seeking,
through Christ's interceding.
Love is not fretful or resentful,
with a prayer-life eventful.
Love takes no account of the evil done to it,
surrendering to God we're able to bare it.
Love does not rejoice at injustice or unrighteousness,
but mournful we ask for God's mercy and forgiveness.
Love rejoices when right and truth prevail,
giving glory to God for those who avail.
Love bears up under anything and everything that comes,
believing that ultimately His will be done.
Love is ever ready to believe the best of everyone,
never really knowing what the other has undergone.
Love's hopes are fadeless under all circumstances,
trusting in God no matter the consequences.
Love endures everything,
and suffers through anything.
Love never fails and never fades out,
our faith in God leaves us without a doubt.
I love you.
