Love is patient
Love is gentle and kind
True Love is never near-sighted or blind

It never boasts
It never brags
It doesn't matter
If your in riches or rags

Love is not rude
It does not say, "Me!, Me!, Me!"
When two become one its,  "We!, We!, We!"

Love is not easily angered
It keeps no records of ugly words & wrongs
It only cries out, "How Can We Make It Strong!"

It does not dance with darkness
But serenades the light
To grow stronger is its only appetite

Love always protects
Always hopes and trust
True Love, will never rot or rust

It always perseveres
Through life's storms of thorns & nails
Because, True Love Never Fails.
