L O V E - the Redondilla Style
~Love~
(Redondilla)
Love gives it all and love forgive
Love is tender and love is kind
Lifes better when true love you find
Love can make us feel more alive
Love is great and love is sweet
Love for sure always comes to mind
Love can't be defined, loves always kind
Love is free, loves delicious treat
Of nothing Lord wants us afraid
Love, faith, hope, and peace thru God spread
With his love heal if wrong was fed
God's love is greater than all said.

-So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.
1 Corinthians 13:13 (NIV)
-Love is patient and kind; love does not envy or boast; it is not arrogant or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; it does not rejoice at wrongdoing, but rejoices with the truth. Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things. Love never ends. As for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away.
1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)

The "Redondilla" is an Spanish poetry form or style, with an eight-syllable quatrain rhyming either abba or abab, but in the latter rhyme scheme it is usually called, the Serventesio.
The Redondilla Origin:
Early 18th century. From Spanish redondilla from redondo round + -illa, after French rondeau or one of its cognates.
