Love is patient and kind,

Why is there violence?

Love does not envy and not boast,

Why is there greed?

 

Love is not proud and is not rude,

Why do we allow hostility?

Love is not self-seeking and is not easily angered,

Why do we allow aggression?

 

Love keeps no record of wrongs,

Why do we not forgive?

Love rejoices with the truth,

Why do we lie?

 

Love protects, perseveres, and hopes

Love to be loved!

 

(Biblical Allusion I Corinthians 13:4-5)
