Love
Illustration★★★★What is love? ...
It’s silence when your words would hurt.
It’s patience when your neighbor’s curt.
It’s deafness when the scandal flows.
It’s thoughtfulness for another’s woes.
It’s promptness when stern duty calls.
It’s courage when misfortune falls.
The point
A poetic definition of love as thoughtfulness, patience, discretion, and courage. Love is silence when words would hurt, listening when complaint comes, and faithfulness when duty calls.
