Foremost.
Love needs itself and nothing more.
Love acts but never seeks applause.
Love withstands words spoken to hurt.
Love pledges care that never reverts.
Love regrets not and knows no guilt.
Love's forgiveness intends to win.
Love vows its feeling shall not end.
Love becomes a bond forever.
Love heals raw hearts by Heaven's law.
Love is the foremost force of all.

Love has so many facets Nev - am so glad you enjoyed some of them in my few words............ x
It takes us a while to learn what love is. Romantic love with all it's bells and whistles is probably our introduction to love. Then gradually we realise more and more about the love within us and around us. Your words are a delight. I see in them the famed Corinthians theme which is astounding.
We are gifted with love and learn to cherish love. It is so big a subject, covering so many facets of existence that no written piece could fully do it justice. I think that your piece, as do many great poems, serves to draw our attention to the mystique and magic of this thing called love.

Really appreciate your generous comment D. A. and agree all we writers can do is to draw attention to its force - Love cannot be described better than in Corinthians and even then there is much more than words can say about the power of Love. - -- thank you too for the wonderful interpretation by Joni Mitchel - her voice suits the subject so well.
Love is so wonderful and will always be with you, with us and hopefully with everybody.
Fine words Fay.

We see then that love is not just one thing. The 'Love is...' cartoons are good.
I could set this to a hymn-poem, if you wish, though it may break up some of the rhyme.
Love, always looking for the best in the world. Love your poem. Don
Love is ....
