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.

love is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance

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.

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?

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.

the flower you've got to let grow. John Lennon

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.

Love Is
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer

Love is a gift from God above
We are to share and show love
To each and everyone 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.
