“The Way of Love”

(A poem based off 1 Corinthians 13:1-7)

If I have the most eloquent speech

And can recite and quote and read and teach

And can communicate on levels hard to reach

But I do not have love I am nothing

If I have all knowledge known to man

And can fathom all wonders at hand

And have all faith so as to remove the lands

But I do not have love I am nothing

If I sacrifice all that I own

And give up my body without a moan

And if they burn me deep all the way to the bone

But I do not have love I gain nothing

For love is always patient and kind

Not having an envy or boast in mind

Leaving pride and arrogance and rudeness behind

And it never insists to be selfish

Love does not rush to get quickly mad

Keeps no record of things one's done bad

And as love looks upon sin it is never glad

Yet it always rejoices in the truth

Love is strong and can bear all the weight

All things it trusts and is willing to wait

It entrusts all to the Creator of fate

Yes we know love will endure forever
