Love
by Maisie Aletha Smikle  https://www.goodreads.com/quotes/10459372

Love is like a dove
Descending from above
Pure generous and genuine
Kind gentle patient and divine

Love knows no bounds
As it abounds
Love must be coupled with self control
Less it rolls out of control

Love is good and can never be bad
Unless you love what isn't good
Lovers of the good
Have withstood

Trials and tests
For love must persist
To conquer hate
And not abate or dissipate

Love is kind
And not unkind
Love is not blind
Love looks intuitively deep to find its kind

Love sees beyond the exterior
Love examines the interior
Love sees beyond pimples
Blemishes faults and wrinkles

Love is good
Love is not bad
Love hates evil
Evil hates love

Love and evil do not go hand in hand
Love good abstain from evil and do no wrong
Only love will stand the test of time
Patiently persevere kind and always on time
