As I am always looking for things that include the fruits of the Holy Spirit, Deborah Ann’s poem fits perfectly with that theme. Enjoy another of her wonderful poems.
True love does not boast,
it’s not embedded with pride
love that is forthright
hasn’t anything to hide.
It is not offensive,
carefully choosing its words
it’s pleasing and uplifting
joy and happiness it stirs.
It doesn’t act haughty,
or say things causing pain
love that is agape . . .
has nothing for it to gain.
Love that comes from Jesus,
is filled with truth and light
love that is not self-seeking
is pleasing in God’s sight!

charity envieth not;
charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up,”
