The Path To Love

Love is won, then it conquers all through patience But that's impossible without being kind The two above build one to be honest Suppressing all the feelings of jealousy Silencing all tongues not to be boastful Bruising egos that result from one's pride Only the wise share from the spoils of lion's pride Copying the beast waiting for prey in patience Though giving man no right to be boastful But giving satisfaction of some kind Leaving villains in tatters of jealousy Pulling to you those who remain honest Noble humans teach children to be honest, Hold close to heart their identity with pride, Learn to murder the feelings of jealousy Those who slur you just lose them no patience Return slurs with virtues fit for man kind All these show love and leave no man boastful Calamity fall on those who are boastful Misery awaits those who are not honest Forgive and be cast as one of a kind But do not become conflated with pride Cause pride can erode the gift of patience Leaving you sulky grumpy brewing in jealousy Love allows no space of growth for jealousy Fools think themselves wise when they are boastful Taking as dull the prudence of patience Hurrying breaking the rules of being honest Disregarding words of wisdom with pride Plotting to trample on all those who are kind The cornerstone in love building is being kind For that blocks away tinges of jealousy- Not to cause acrimony that leads to pride- That mauls peace and harmony by being boastful Substituting quality of being honest- With idle talks, lies and haste that ruin patience Patience is a crown to those who are kind Be honest to get strength to strangle jealousy True love is neither boastful nor has pride
