1st Corinthians 13:13

I, once was a child, pure and innocent.
I mastered a world with open eyes;
became flesh.

Love showed me the purest joy;
like a fresh cleansing rain,
a yearning thirst willing to attain.

Without love in my world,
there is no world,
but sadness and pain,
a non-existing life.

Without faith,
how do you have hope.
Love makes me feel excitement
within my frame,
presence of the Holy Spirit,
giving me hope and faith.
Regaining my sight,
seeing the world 
through the eyes of a child.

1 Corinthians 13:13  
 So faith, hope, love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
