  1. Love Is
    1 Corinthians 13:4-8 (NIV)

    Love is patient, love is kind.
    It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud.
    It does not dishonor others, it is not self-seeking,
    It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.
    Love does not delight in evil but rejoices with the truth.
    It always protects, always trusts,
    Always hopes, always perseveres.
    Love never fails.



  2. love is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance

  3. What Is Love
    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011


    What is love, really?
    Is it good manners, great body, nice hair?
    No, I think that's not love but infatuation.
    But it's still nice to take a very long glare.

    Is love something you know?
    Do you feel it right from the start?
    I wish I could tell what I'm feeling,
    So hard to know what's right for the heart.

  5. Am I In Love?
    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011


    I have a person in my life,
    And I adore him so very much,
    But I wonder what I'm feeling, is something that should make me squealing,
    I think that he may have me in his clutch.

    Am I really in love?
    Is that possible and ever so true?
    I hope to learn the answer when I dine with him later,
    I wonder if he loves me too?

  7. With What Love
    Poet: Julie Hebert, ©2011


    What is it about love, that makes it so sweet?
    It's so hard not to unravel the wrapper.
    It comes in so hard, and sometimes too strong,
    You feel like it couldn’t have gotten here faster.

    We love to be loved, but sometimes we kind of,
    Want to take things very slow.
    Love comes with some heartache, and we all can’t for sure take,
    Risks that we’ve once done long ago.

  9. Love Can Be
    Poet: Kate Summers


    Love can be felt in a touch
    It can make one feel flush
    Love can be felt in a hug
    A better feeling than a drug.

    Love can be seen in the eyes
    Sometimes taking us by surprise
    Love can be seen in a smile
    Making life feel so worthwhile.

  11. Love Is
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    Love is a gift from God above
    We are to share and show love
    To each and every one that we meet
    And extend it to those we greet.

    Love is never meant to be kept away
    We are to share it each and every day
    By doing this we make the world a better place
    Helping us meet the challenges we face.

  13. What is Love?
    Poet: Catherine Pulsifer


    What is love? A warm fuzzy feeling
    When I see you it sends my heart reeling.
    I love forward to being with you
    I love you and all you do.

    What is love? I feel like I'm losing my mind
    I can only think of you, you're one of a kind.
    I can't seem to focus or get anything done
    I just want to be with you and have some fun.

    What is love? When I think of you I just smile
    I would walk to see you for miles and miles.
    It is hard to put in words, this feeling of love
    It's wonderful, it's giddy, it is sent from above.

  15. To Love
    Poet: Samuel Longfellow


    To love and seek return,
    To ask but only this,
    To feel where we have poured our heart
    The spirit's answering kiss;
    To dream that now our eyes
    The brightening eyes shall meet,
    And that the word we'e listened for
    Our hungering ears shall greet,
    How human and how sweet!

    To love nor find return,
    Our hearts poured out in vain.
    No brightening look, no answering tone.
    Left lonely with our pain;
    The opened heavens dosed,
    Night when we looked for mom,
    The unfolding blossom harshly chilled,
    Hope slain as soon as born,
    How bitter, how forlorn.

    To love nor ask return.
    To accept our solitude;
    Not now for others' love to yearn.
    But only for their good;
    To joy if they are crowned,
    Though thorns our head entwine.
    And in the thought of blessing them
    All thought of self resign,
    How godlike, how divine!
