Love Is

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.

Love is not easily angered.
It keeps no record of wrongs.

Love does not delight in evil,
but it rejoices in the truth.

Love always protects, always trusts,
always hopes, always perseveres.

Love never fails.
