What is Love?



A poem by Myra Williams



Love is like a competition

a race to the finish line.

Who's right, who's wrong,

who's powerful, who's smarter,

who is more desirable?



Love is also like a dance,

two ppl learning

to step in tune

with each other

at a perfect distance,

following a familiar pattern.



Love is a game

only the players understand.



Love is not martyrdom.

No one can compete with Jesus!

Although, Mother Teresa's love

was almost Christ-like because,

she gave service to others

as a way of life.



1 Cor. 13:8 says, "Love never fails."

This is true.

True love never fails.

But romance and friendships,

relationships, often do.



How should I love someone

when it's best

for both of us

to be apart?

Though no longer in love,

that person still has my heart.



I can have love for someone

forever,

but the type of love

that never fails

is self preservation.
