Poetry

Charity suffers long is kind and envies not,
It does not boast and not extravagantly got;
Charity isn't provoked or selfish on it own,
No evil thoughts or being bad to the bone;
Charity rejoices in all God's moral value,
It jubilates to hear only to which is true;
Charity bears all it believes and endures,
Bring hope and compassion as it reassures;
Charity never fails, not as prophecy does,
Of thought or of word from hidden agendas;
They shall cease and merely vanish away,
Before leading of good Christians astray.
Charity is the love shown to your brother,
The caring of the welfare for each other;
We give a helping hand to our neighbor,
During their suffering and their labor;
When you see someone that’s in distress,
Go to them and see how you can bless;
Always think of the story of a Samaritan,
And just how Jesus would have done.
