Because Love Is Kind

True fervor is persistent in its daily care Breeding seeds of joy from evening to dawn; That when trials rage, life finds grace Embracing ebon nights... all else is forgiven. For love is Aurora bright, eternal in its gleaming Never weary, always unconditional, And to see God’s face in a partner’s eyes By accepting the other as divine being In human form, flawed yet perfect, As the real source of a life-giving heart Endows both with time's pleasure... Along season's thunder and sunlight, Laughter allows the growth of harmony For even in spiked conflicts or anger, Arms meet halfway and follow Light's way Ever aware now of an endless, mindful oath borne from a surrender to love, to prevail. Laura Loo: Free Verse Love Contest Pre-written, submitted 9/22/2016 ---------------- Inspiration from 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 4 Love is patient, love is kind... 5 It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking...
