The greatest of these

love bears all things, believes all things, and hopes all things
it fills in cracks.
it climbs up trees.
and
makes another pot of coffee when the first one gets cold.

love never fails
it braves dark alleys.
it makes itself into a shield.
and
leaps into burning misery with a healing touch. 

love always protects, always trusts, and always perseveres.
it scorns the secret rendezvous.
it waits for the light to turn green.
and
no matter what, makes a stand.
