Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. (1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV)
This is love
The Biblical way
So are you really
In love today
If you are
What about your mate
Husband, wife
Or the person you date
Is this how
You've been treated
After arguments
Got really heated
Is this how
She makes you feel
When it's lies
She'll reveal
Is this what
He tried to say
When the ambulance
Took you away
Start again
Re-read the verse
Before you're riding
In a hearse
Love's not violent
There's no abuse
Despite the lies
And timely excuse
God is love
Tried and true
No other will love
The way He loves you
