"Love is a Great Thing"

"Love is a great thing,

A good above all others,

Which alone maketh every burden light ...

Love is watchful, and whilst sleeping, still keeps watch;

Though fatigued, it is not weary;

Though pressed, it is not forced ...

Love is
...Sincere ... gentle, strong, patient, faithful, prudent, long-suffering,

Manly ... {Womanly}

Love is circumspect, humble, and upright;

Not weak, not fickle, nor intent on vain things;

Sober, chaste, steadfast, quiet, and guarded in all the senses."
~Thomas a' Kempis
