7. 1 Corinthians 13:4-8
   New Living Translation
   
   Love is patient and kind.
   Love is not jealous or boastful or proud or rude.
   It does not demand its own way.
   It is not irritable, and it keeps no record of being wronged.
   It does not rejoice about injustice but rejoices whenever the truth wins out.
   Love never gives up, never loses faith, is always hopeful, and endures through every circumstance.
   Prophecy and speaking in unknown languages and special knowledge will become useless.
   But love will last forever!

Enduring Love and Commitment Poems

These poems reflect on the lasting nature of love and vows through life's journey.


8. For Life And For Eternity
   Poet: L. H. Sigourney
   
   Not for the summer hour alone,
   When skies resplendent shine.
   And youth and pleasure fill the throne,
   Our hearts and hands we join;
   
   But for those stem and wintry days
   Of peril, pain, and fear,
   When Heaven's wise discipline makes
   This earthly journey drear.
   
   Not for this span of life alone,
   Which as a blast doth fly,
   And, like the transient flowers of grass.
   Just blossom, droop, and die;
   
   But for a being without end,
   This vow of love we take:
   Grant us, O God! one home at last,
   For our Redeemer's sake.




9. Two Loves
   by Father Abram J. Ryan
   
   Two loves came up a long, wide aisle,
   And knelt at a low, white gate;
   One tender and true, with a shyest smile,
   One strong, true and elate.
   
   Two lips spoke in a firm true way,
   And two lips answered soft and low;
   In one true hand such a little hand lay
   Fluttering, frail as a flake of snow.
   
   One stately head bent humble there,
   Stilled were the throbbings of human love;
   One head drooped down like a lily fair,
   Two prayers went, wing to wing, above.
   
   God blest them both in the holy place,
   Long brief moment till the rite was done;
   On the human love fell a heavenly grace,
   Making two hearts forever one.
   
   Between two lengthening rows of smiles,
   One sweetly shy, one proud, elate,
   Two loves passed down the long wide aisle
   Will they ever forget the low white gate?
