Love is patient and kind
(adapted from 1 Corinthians 13)

Love is always patient and kind
It is never jealous
Love is never boastful or conceited
It is never rude or selfish
It does not take offence
And is not resentful.

Love takes no pleasure in other people's faults
But delights in the truth
It is always ready to excuse, to trust and to hope
It is always ready to endure whatever comes.
Finally, true love does not come to an end.
