Love Expanded

Paul's brilliant inspired piece on the workings of love in the book of 1Corinthians is among some of the most quoted on the subject. These “workings of love” as I like to call it, sums up perfectly what love is all about. Here’s an expanded version from me.

Love is patient - And leaves you not a patient
Love is kind - Observes the wise mind
Love is not jealous - But remains zealous
Love is not conceited - Neither feels unseated
Love is not proud - Shows off not in the crowd
Love is not ill-mannered - Call it well-mannered
Love is not selfish - Not adding to every skirmish
Love is not irritable - Certainly not certifiable
Love records no wrong - Forever remaining strong
Love is not evil - And no friend of the devil
Love is the truth - Bears quite good fruit
Love never gives up - But rather looks up
       And its faith, hope and patience
                      Never fails
                   Love is eternal
