TRUE LOVE is gentle also kind
Never envies - never haughty
True Love's from heart - not just the mind
Always faithful never naughty !
True Love always keeps its cool
Never flying off the handle
Stops you acting like a fool
Sheds its light just like a candle
True Love protects - True Love provides
Always there twenty-four seven
True Love respects and True Love guides
True Love's always - Made in Heaven !
True Love endures - True Love prevails
YES - TRUE LOVE - never ever fails !

- Comment from author about the poem: This is a 4 4 4 2 sonnet with an abab cdcd efef gg rhyme pattern. Each line has eight syllables in iambic tetrameter. The content is based on Paul's love letter (chapter 13) to the Church at Corinth. I've visited Corinth and the Love Letter is inscribed in English on a huge plinth for all to enjoy ! BRIAN

Brian, thanks. Reading you in the writing and in your notes, makes me wish i had listened my teachers more👌
Thanks ROSE for another very supportive comment. True Love is very special - and its qualities (as mentioned in the poem) are also very special. Love generates Love and when the qualities of True Love are shed abroad from our hearts - then we always find True Love in return. To have a FRIEND we always need to be a FRIEND - to find TRUE LOVE first we have to be TRUE LOVERS of others - BRIAN
I'm one of those that enjoys writing about love,and how it makes us humans feel . Great poem gives us all hope in love !
Thanks MONI - "If poetry be the muse of love - write on ......................... ! BRIAN
The Bible indeed inspires the most beautiful love poems.
I wish you would give the poem its seriousness with a black font and more of a serous 'poem design, I thought it would be something on the funny side because of the design you have chosen.
Do forgive the correction. Otherwise, a beautiful poem, psalm 151.
Thanks for your critique LYDIA ~ Just for you because I respect your views ~ I have changed the colour and shape ~ which (as you suggest) increases its gravity ~ especially as it is a poetic paraphrase on I Corinthians 13 ! PLease let me know what you think of my revision ~ Yours BRIAN
Yes, it better represents its point now. Once again, a beautiful poem. (:
