What Love Is This

Love is not a noun- it is a verb
For it is not an abstract idea

Love is not a feeling
or saying someone is nice when they are not

Love for an enemy
does not mean,not punishing their wrong

Love is not taught
rather it is caught

Love of the agape kind...
an affair of the will

agape
     the greatest gift
                      remains
clear sighted
 curative
      a treasure of the heart

love with no expectation
                      on seeing reality
continues
           to love
agape
    again&again
             
an act
       of the will
infused inspired
             by
                    grace
made manifold

All truth! Love wants the best, even as you say admonishing wrong behavior.
