Poetry:

Love is patient, love is kind. It does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud. It is not rude, it is not self-seeking. It is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs. Love does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth. It always protects, always trusts, always hopes, always perseveres. Love never fails. Bible ~I Corinthians 13:4-8~ "Perfect love is rare indeed - for to be a lover will require that you continually have the subtlety of the very wise, the flexibility of the child, the sensitivity of the artist, the understanding of the philosopher, the acceptance of the saint, the tolerance of the scholar and the fortitude of the certain." ~Leo Buscaglia~ (March 31, 1924 – June 11 1998) Inspirational author

There is no difficulty that enough love will not conquer; no disease that enough love will not heal; no door that enough love will not open; no gulf that enough love will not bridge; no wall that enough love will not throw down; no sin that enough love will not redeem... It makes no difference how deeply seated may be the trouble; how hopeless the outlook; how muddled the tangle; how great the mistake. A sufficient realization of love will dissolve it all. If only you could love enough you would be the happiest and most powerful being in the world... ~Emmet Fox~ (July 30, 1886–August 13, 1951) Famous New Thought spiritual leader early 20th Century, a large influence on the founding of Alcoholics Anonymous Let the world stop turning,  Let the sun stop burning,  Let them tell me love's not worth going through.  If it all falls apart,  I will know deep in my heart,  The only dream that mattered had come true  ...In this life I was loved by you.  ~ Bette Midler ~  (born December 1, 1945)  American singer, actress and comedian Love is like a friendship caught on fire. In the beginning a flame, very pretty, Often hot and fierce, But still only light and flickering. As love grows older, Our hearts mature And our love becomes as coals, Deep-burning and unquenchable. ~ Bruce Lee ~ (November 27, 1940 – July 20, 1973) Born in San Francisco, a martial artist, philosopher, instructor,actor.
