A personal interpretation, though I think I will work on it some more. Any suggestions?  Love listens without judgment Love forms opinions carefully, thoughtfully before speaking... Love respects the feelings of others Love sacrifices all for its own sake and never takes... True love is devoted--wholly, completely protecting others feelings tenaciously True love shuns sinful pursuits preferring the way of truth and peace Love is the true morality never unjust True love can break all yokes it can overcome all obstacles It lives and breathes in hope everlasting never demanding its own way but seduces with goodness, kindness and trust. Love is all this and more Love is my heart~sigh for you. |

Thank you Joyce! Yes, when love is unconditional, it is the only true love story! I wholeheartedly agree! Bonnie, this is my favorite too followed by nearly any Psalm. Thank you so much for the kind response! |

 (smiles) This is soooooo beautiful, sweet friend, yes, true love can indeed sacrifice but not of itself but for the love of another and help make amends and compassion! (kiss on cheek) This is wonderful, sweet friend, God Bless You, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Dulcinea, thank you for sharing!  May love and light always shine upon you! Love, Noah Eaton "Underneath your clothes there's an endless story..." |

Very, very nice. Suggestions? Couldn't begin to offer more than keep your heart and ears open to the prompting of the Spirit. Perhaps it is complete, perhaps there is more. Whether on the shoal or on the shore, |

Dulcinea, So very beautiful and tender expressions of Love you've penned here that I had to compare your Bible reference to make certain that your words were truly original. They are. Very, very, very.......... nicely written. Suggestions? Only a couple... First, I would give your poem a title to go along with the scripture reference. Second, I would change the word "seduces" which means to lead astray to the word "induces" which means to bring about. Note. I found your work exceptional and I would not have made these suggestions unless you had asked. GOD bless and thank you for sharing. -Bob |

First of all, forgive me for being so remiss on my replies, as I have been extremely busy of late, and that said: Betty Lou, thank you for reading and being uplifted! Noah, thank you for your always sweetly wonderful reply dear friend. Yes, without sacrifice, there can never really be any real love can there? (((hugs))) VAS, you are too kind, and I will certainly heed your advice, though I think he has already spoken through Bob below. Nancy, awwww…thank you dear lady! I appreciate the kind comments! Bob (of the lighthouse variety). Thank you dear brother for the suggestions and I agree with you. The word induce would be much better! At the time I wanted to express love's ability to "lead or draw away from", hummmmmm...maybe both words separted with a colon? What do you think? Again,Thank you! I knew there was something amiss but couldn’t quite put my finger on it. Though a title is still eluding me. ~sigh~ I can’t thank you enough for your help! God Bless you! Interloper (the other Bob) Thank you! I have taken the suggestion and intend to make the changes. Thank you all for your review and encouragement! Blessings on all of you!
