TRUE LOVE ~ WHAT ON EARTH IS IT ? A 3 6 3 2 SONNET

ANGELA & BRIAN



PAUL OF TARSUS was an  itinerant Preacher & Teacher in the Christian Church of thr FIRST CENTURY ! He wrote Spiritual Letters (Epistles) to the Churches He visited in Rome - Corinth - Ephesus etc !  Corinth was a very debauched and sinful City ! *To Play the Corinthian* meant a Person was living a debauched & sinful Life. To counteract this when Paul wrote to Corinth (under the guidance of the Holy Spirit) he included THIS LOVE POEM in his First Letter. In a Modern Bible it appears as Chapter 13. Angelas Mother read it at our Wedding in March.  Our POEM today is a paraphrase ~ AMEN  Love Angela & Brian XOXOX

 

I can be ELOQUENT ~ but without LOVE ~ Im a tinkling CYMBAL

I can be SPIRITULLY GIFTED ~ but without LOVE ~ I am NOTHING

I can be a GIVER & a MARTYR ~ but  without LOVE ~ I am USELESS

 

TRUE LOVE ~ Suffers PATIENTLY & is always KIND

TRUE LOVE ~ Is never ENVIOUS & is never PROUD

TRUE LOVE ~ Behaves with   MODERATION & is GENTLE

TRUE LOVE ~ Loves the TRUTH & hates FALSEHOOD

TRUE LOVE ~ Bears - Believes - Hopes & Endures

TRUE LOVE ~ NEVER  EVER  FAILS ~ AMEN !

 

PROPHESIES will FAIL ~ TONGUES - CEASE ~ KNOWLEDGE VANISH

NOW ~ We see through a Dark Glass ~ but then FACE TO FACE

Once I thought like a CHILD ~ but NOW ~ I am thinking like a MAN

 

NOW abides these THREE ~ Pure FAITH ~ Perfect HOPE & True LOVE

BUT ~ the greatest of these will always be ~ TRUE LOVE ~ AMEN !

 

Thanks for visit ~ comments welcome ~ Love Angela & Brian XOXOX

 

When we renew our Wedding Vows in March 2021 (or 2022) with 100 guests ANGELA & I will have *TRUE LOVE* as our first WALTZ at our DISCO after the Wedding Breakfast. WE sure have a Guardian Angel who brought US together & keeps our LOVE forever TRUE !

    Good write A&B.
    I dread to think how The Message has modernised this. I dare not look. Probably murdered the language - or marmalised it - good word there! Ken Dodd used it! lol.

  • ANGELA & BRIAN

    Thanks Uncle Steve ~ I guess you approve of our PARAPHRASE it was based on the AV ! Brian & I base our True Love Relationshipon the Principles of 1 Corinthians 13 ~ AMEN

    Blessings to YOU and YOUR Law Abiding Labrador !
    Spirit Love Angela Brian & El Gato Ahumido ! ! !

    • ANGELA & BRIAN

      Oooops sorry Steve we sent a comment instead of a reply ~ please check POEM ~ Thanks ABC !!!

    • dusk arising

      Good old Corinthians 1 :13 eh?

      • ANGELA & BRIAN

        Thanks Dusk ~ Considering it in context ~ and the moral condition of the City he addressed it to ~ to US it is a very fine statement of what *TRUE LOVE* (especially in Marriage) should be all about ! We apply these principles in Our Marriage ! We know they will sustain US for the next 50 Years ~ Golden Wedding in 2070 ~ AMEN !

        Blessings & Joy to You & Yours
        Love Angela Brian & Smokey !!!

        • dusk arising

          Plenty more to love than romantic love.

          • ANGELA & BRIAN

            YES INDEED DUSK ! There is:

            STORGE ~ Love in the Community
            PHILEO ~ Love in the Family
            AGAPE ~ Spiritual Love

            It is indeed \"All these Aspects of Love* that makes the WORLD go round ! True Love never FA ILS ~ AMEN
            Blessings & Peace & Joy to YOU & YOURS
            Love Angela & Brian & Smokey ! ! !

            • dusk arising

              I dunno about the strange words you used there but the only way to know about the other kinds of love is to feel them inside you whatever they are. It won't happen by reading about them.

              • ANGELA & BRIAN

                Very true DUSK ~ EROS is Sexual Love between a Couple ! They are the Four Greek Words for LOVE ! We agree with YOU all aspects of LOVE are EXPERIENTIAL ~ Better FELT than TELT ! The feelings are different but the LOVE is the SAME !

                Blessings Angela Brian & Smokey Cat ! ! !

                • dusk arising

                  thank the cat for those blessings.... i'm sure theyre sincerely given.

                    TRUE LOVE - one that stands by you, while you are endeavoring to be a better self....

                    .....
                    so take that vow every day, and waltz through life.

                    • ANGELA & BRIAN

                        Stay Safe and in love. Happy Holidays.

                      • L. B. Mek

                        when all is said and done, may it be Love that triumphs and beckon that dawn of existence: where differences need not exist...

                      • Dove

                        Beautifully paraphrased I wish you both Peace and health, as for love , you already drink from its nectar! Stay safe! Blessings to the Trio
