I decided to take a detour from my current blog series (I will do this every other post so there won't just be a bunch of personality posts in a row on this blog).
Anyway, I wrote a poem today based on 1 Corinthians 13 and I wanted to share it here...
To Obsess, to Love
To fulfill
your loneliness by
Chasing,
scheming, pushing on
Until
your time and life are gone
To
obsess is to chase your own desires
And
feed your own burning fires
With
someone else’s dreams and life,
Leaving
both of you empty with pain and strife
To
obsess is to let butterflies come quickly,
To let
your soul melt into something hard and sickly
From
looking too hard to find character worthwhile
Beyond
his shallow, meaningless smile
But
to love is to care
To put
someone first, to always be there,
To
conquer conflict, climb mountains together
To
bear your affection forever
To
love is to see true joy on his face
To
stop treating relationships like a competition or race
To
wait for him to come to you
Without
the intention to blindly pursue,
But
to love you for the One who lives in your heart
That’s
when true love truly starts
