The Crown
When you want to master Love
and for its understanding yearn
where can you turn to find
its instruction completely learn
What qualities of personality
how can we them perceive
the development of its attributes
and its teachings in depth receive
All of its traits and character
when displayed be plainly seen
all its actions words and deeds
to be realized in mankind's being
When you seek for her as silver
and for its prize sell all you own
when you know that it is priceless
the only place you can call home
Whatever mankind has treasured
and the things that they value
can never fill its purchase price
can only be a gift that's given you
All mankind has sought its face
an unfulfilled obsession
no money or wealth can buy her
or make her your possession
The things contained within her
are surpassing excellence
more purified than refined gold
reflects loves exceeding brilliance
She is the master setting
her attributes Divine
an exquisite master crafting
and faultless by design
She is the perfect partner
to the lawgiver and judge
those made fit to rule the nations
will from their tenets never budge
She is forever Faithful
Her loyalty always True
inestimable is her Value
God made this gift for you
Apocalypse 3:7-13
