Love

Love is pleasure and is always patient In all its pure form it is always kind Love is considerate and is not jealous In its nature it cannot be boastful Real love is neither arrogant nor proud Love is tolerant and it is not rude Love has power to quash signs of being rude When love is provoked it remains patient In all its achievements love is not proud Love favours not only those of the same kind Yet, love avoids all those who are boastful Love builds you up if you are not jealous In faith love prospers without being jealous Subtract love from the heart to become rude Join the crowd of fools to become boastful Let mockers mock but stay calm and patient And work for the good of all human kind And let fruits of your labour make you proud In His Highness God has never been proud Only sinners can make God become jealous To those who confess their sins God is kind For while God leaves those who become rude To a fool God is not always patient For He condemns every tongue that is boastful When love is insecure tongues are boastful As ego pushes lovers to be proud Snatching their chance to stay put and patient Instead provoking them to be jealous Altering them from being good to being rude Making the world to see them as not kind To pretend to be nice is not being kind For when hearts are full tongues become boastful Spitting words that fit a brat who is rude A spoilt brat who knows only how to be proud When people are happy a spoilt brat is jealous Cause spoilt brats never learn to be patient Almost all who are patient become kind But all who are jealous become boastful If they are proud, certainly they are rude
