LOVE'S BOUQUET by Claire Adriance

Joy is love sparkling when gloom's about.
Peace is love at the rest.
Long sufferings is love stretched beyond human endurance.
Gentleness is love with a baby's touch.
Meekness is love on its knees.
Mercy is love with tears in its eyes.
Grace is love pouring oil on troubled waters.
Prayer is love interceeding.
Kindness is wrapping a weak sou' in blanket of down.
Temperance is love in balance.
Patience is love waiting.
Truth is love covered with light.
Courtesy is love stepping aside.
Compassion is love throwing its arms around the world both spiritually and physically.
