This Love Is...

This love is patient and it is kind
It makes me envy and it makes me blind
I wish I could boast and be very proud
And scream "I love you" extremely loud
I am not rude and I am not self-seeking
I am not easily angered when you are speaking
I try not to keep any records of wrongs
Happiness with you is what my heart longs
I do not delight in the evil of youth
All I ask is to be given the truth
I'll protect you forever if I have your trust
I hope we'll persevere and we'll never bust
I'll take your troubles and all that entails
I want you to remember that love never fails
By: James Higginbotham
