Love is an emotion
By many words defined.
It draws out our best qualities
Brings peace of heart and mind.

Love is long-suffering
Of life it is the salt.
It looks for others' interests
And overlooks our faults.

Love behaves decently
Its motives only pure.
It hopes in and believes all things
And helps us to endure.

Real love is unselfish
And shows our tender feeling.
It has powers to unite
And aids in inner healing.

Love rejoices with the truth
And freely is forgiving.
It covers sins, a multitude
Which we commit in living.

In perfect love there is not fear
For love throws it outside.
Love is stronger than Sheol
And cannot be confined.

Love is kind and patient
Causes us to gently act.
It does not brag and is not jealous
Uses theocratic tact.

Love is unconditional
From God is a gift.
When we demonstrate our love
Our spirits start to lift.

Its blazings are like a fire
Continually growing hotter.
Love cannot be extinguished
By any amount of "water."

We want to cultivate this love
This love that's so intense.
To reach the hearts of others
We must freely it dispense.

When love is cultivated
It is strong and never fails.
True love is refreshing
And its beauty never pales.

Love is such a precious trait
That causes joy to start.
You never will be lacking
If love is in your heart.

That which is loved
Is always beautiful
Beauty is defined by love
--You are beautiful--
