1 Corinthians 13:13


And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.

Silence, be still, listen-
Can you hear it?
Patience, do not hasten-
Can you see it?
The true beauty of life,
Often unseen.
It's indeed a rare sight,
But can be seen.
We are always so rushed,
For once, be still.
Beloved, take it slow, hush,
Ans see it you will.

The author's comments:

We live our life in a rush. So much that we don't see or hear the true beauty of the things around us. We don't fully enjoy them untill we take our time with it.

"You know you’re a writer if your friend tells you a heartbreaking story and your first reaction is – wow, that would make an incredible plot for a novel. You know you’re a smart writer if you manage to keep that reaction to yourself."
