This poem was inspired as I thought on love. God is love. We become enamored by love. Love fills us with boldness to see our world in a beautiful light! Unfortunately love is often unappreciated, abused and perverted. Love truly is what we make of it. If we respect it as something to be treasured above all and worthy of sacrifice, it will grow in us and the heavenly ethereal glow will continue to paint our world in amazing color, despite setbacks, persecutions and pain experienced in its pursuit. “Love is patient. Love is kind. Love does not behave itself unseemly. Love is not boastful. Love suffers long. Love believes all things. Love hopes all things. Love never fails.” Treasure love!
With a Beauty All Its Own
Love is a splendorous thing
It blings and rings and sings
With a beauty all its own
Like the purest garment sewn
With charm elusive and bold
Most grand above the finest gold
Valued priceless by the receiver
A worthless fake by the deceiver
To see it is to believe it
To believe it is to receive it
Too glorious to define
Sweetest grape from the truest vine
Softest thunder clap ever found
The war and peace of it, renowned
Takes patience, long and hope, renewed
To stay neath this glorious rider, ensued
There’s euphoria, task, quiet dedication
Pride, achievement with doses of humiliation
Its a placid lake and roaring sea
In its firm embrace, you learn how to be
You get what you bring to love’s astounding door
Vanity and pride only leave you wanting more
So let truth with humility be the gifts you bring
Steadfast hope and appreciation to your queen or king
Love is a splendorous thing
It blings and rings and sings With a beauty all its own
