1 Corinthians 13:4-8 NIV
Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. [5] It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. [6] Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth. [7] It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. [8] Love never fails. But where there are prophecies, they will cease; where there are tongues, they will be stilled; where there is knowledge, it will pass away.
It speaks not only of Lovers
But all who have loved.
Its a Mothers sweet lullaby
Or an Aunties gentle touch.
It’s the dreams of tomorrow
And the challenges of today.
~~~
It’s saying goodbye
And a happy reunion where
Years melt into days.
~~~
It’s the faith
That draws you to your knees
And pulls you back up again.
~~~
It speaks to us
In dreams and memories.
It’s joys
And sorrows
And everything in between.

They See Broken
Isaiah 61:3 NIV and provide for those who grieve in Zion – to bestow on them a crown of beauty instead of ashes, the oil of joy instead of mourning, and a garment of praise instead of a spirit of despair. They will be called oaks of righteousness, a planting of the LORD for the display of his splendor.
