This Is Love
He was a feeble man who held the hand
Of his bride of 60 years
A stranger noticed her stop one day
As if looking through her tears
When he questioned the husband
Why she looked away
The old man explained
What was hard to say:
“Her memory was robbed from her long ago.
She doesn’t know who I am.”
The stranger asked him why he stayed.
He marveled at the man.
“She may not remember who I am,
But that is still OK
Because I still remember her,
I’m there for her every day.
God gave her to me years ago
When we were young and free.
So now I give her all I have,
A love that helps her see.
Love is patient.
Love is kind.
It does not envy.
To pride it’s blind.
It doesn’t boast.
It isn’t rude.
Puts others first,
Doesn’t come unglued.
It readily forgives,
And evil it shuns.
It embraces the truth,
To the light it runs.
1 Corinthians 13
Shalom!
