The Greatest of These Is Love

from JoeUser Forums
So now you know.
You know my saddest story.
You know what alone really means.

So now you can be.
Finally you can turn your pain into hope.
Finally you can turn your hurt into faith.

Faith that soon, someone will come along
for you, and only for you.
Faith that she will make everything right.

I hope my saddest story will bring you hope,
it is the one story I loathe to tell,
because I go through the pain again, one last time.

But this time, I think it was worth it.
If only to show you the truth,
and only if to show you.

That life's greatest things are faith, hope, and love.
But the greatest of these,
is love.


This poem is dedicated to Shaun Delph, friend and confidant. May the light of God always shine on your face.

Here Shaun, if you read this I found a song for you.

Love has a way to find ya
Sneaks up right behind ya
There ain't no particular way
You don't know when it's gonna
Come runnin' 'round the corner
There ain't no particular way

So, don't give up (so don't give up
on love till you get your share) -
You're gonna get your share
The thing about love (the thing about
love is it's) - is that it's everywhere

Chorus:
There ain't nowhere it won't hide
(There ain't nowhere it won't hide)
There ain't no speed it won't drive
(There ain't no speed it won't drive)
There ain't no law it won't break
(There ain't no law it won't break)
There ain't no chance it won't take
There ain't no, no particular way

Oh, it could come so fast it fools ya
Might take its time to move ya
There ain't no particular way
It might just drift in while you're dreaming
It don't sleep, always schemin'
There ain't no particular way

So, don't give up (so don't give up
on love till you get your share) -
You're gonna get your share
The thing about love (The thing about
love is it's) - is that it's everywhere

Repeat Chorus

You can't hide, oh
(There ain't no time)
It comes when you least expect it -
(There ain't no day)
When you thought you'd been rejected
(There ain't no how) (There ain't no way)
There ain't no particular way
(There ain't no why)
Love ain't just for the lucky
(There ain't no when)
It's there for everybody
(There ain't no what)
There ain't no particular way
(There ain't no way)

So, don't give up (so don't give up
on love till you get your share) -
You're gonna get your share
The thing about love (The thing about
love is it's) - is that it's everywhere

Repeat Chorus 1.5x

(There ain't no time) yeah, yeah, yeah
(There ain't no day)
(There ain't no how) There ain't no way
(There ain't no way) Oh
(There ain't no why) There ain't no way
(There ain't no when) There ain't no time
(There ain't no what) (There ain't no way)
Oh, there ain't no way!

Heh, heh...thanks guys....if I could cry, I probably would. I now know a bit more about you....and my situation can't compare to that atrocity. It does put things into perspective, but I still can't shake this feeling. I know you'll understand, you've been there. It's not like I'm giving up on life or anything, never have so don't worry about that.

Thanks guys....I'm lucky to have the friends I do. If any of you need anything...just ask, I'll do what I can.

You are lucky to have all these friends that care about you. Don't forget that. And don't forget what I've told you. A reality check is always good to have. And don't worry, if I've got problems, I'll let you know.

Peace,

Beebes

It's also a bible verse, or a series of verses, I'm thinking somewhere in the New Testament... but I don't remember which book it is.

Peace,
