Love, be not proud
Humbly allowed
myself proud-- of
endowed graces
my will is free
pray for me, for
holy, pure mind
purity's crown
makes some frown, but
i'm down with it
my heart agrees
with Kolbe's, that
we please her heart
Immaculate,
sorrows split, if
admit to sins
humbling my pride
don't just hide, from
God's side of Love
friends are okay
unless they-- lead
astray my soul
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no account of wrongs. Love takes no pleasure in evil, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
(1 Corinthians 13:4-7)
