Without Love We Are Nothing

I said I would stop,
writing about love.
But now that I sit here,
I might say some words.

I don't remember, 
the last poem I wrote. 
But I know for a fact,
it was not about love.

Love has many qualities,
it is gentle and kind.
But people forget,
what love is sometimes.

They think love is obsession,
boastfulness, and pride.
Living their lives,
forgetting love is kind.

So as I write this,
ill inform you all, 
about the true qualities,
that pertain to love. 

Love is the greatest thing that there is.
And without love it's not easy to live.

Love is trusting, and perseveres.
If you did something wrong, 
Love will forgive. 

Love rejoices in truth,
and does not support lies.
but most importantly, 
Love is kind. 

If you live in this world,
and do not have love. 
You don't have patience,
you have nothing at all.

God is love, 
that is something you must know. 
Therefore, be mindful,
and learn how to love.
