Love is patient

Because I love you

Love is Patient, Love is Kind

You hear the empty words of rhyme

Is it true, you do not know,

Could someone really love you so?

You have had pain and heart break too

And been forced to things you should never do

Your “love” if they can be called such a thing

Looks at you full of disdain

They throw you out and cut you loose

If only they had seen the truth.

Time goes on and you grow up

Inside you are still a skittish pup

Many lie and try to deceive

You don’t want the hate and misery to repeat

Soon you find a possible “ONE”

Their kindness can compare to none

You look to your side and see a face

So peaceful and so full of grace

They smile as they hold your hand

And lift you up to stand on land

Encouraging and steadfast to you

They change your heart to be brand new

Within your soul the best they see

Nothing to them is a mystery

Trouble comes but you are all they see

Danger will soon have to flee

As the shadows near and divide

You and your love by the rising tide

They call your name, and you call theirs

But the darkness takes away all the air.

Now that the torment has past

The light returns free at last

When asked why it is you they pursue

Their answer is “Because I love you”

Love is patient, love is kind

These words will be true for all of time.
