#and explain things

I was never one for waiting

love is kind.

or always being good

It does not envy,

but I wanted what my boys had

it does not boast,

while they claimed to be tougher than me

it is not proud.

I was scared too

It is not rude,

and to discount your baby sister

it is not self-seeking

because you wouldn't understand

it is not easily angered,

and saw the other end of fury

it keeps no record of wrongs.

is impossible to forget

Love does not delight in evil

and your fear gave me hope

but rejoices with the truth.

because nobody knew

It always protects,

why "the babied one"

always trusts,

avoided him

always hopes,

until one day

always perseveres.

everything was fine

Love never fails.

because we can't fear what we forget

But where there are prophecies,

but little girls grow up

they will cease;

walls stop working

where there are tongues,

and on that day 

they will be stilled;

they will want

where there is knowledge,

to make someone understand

it will pass away.

but confidence is fleeting

For we know in part

because truth would change everything

and we prophesy in part,

could ruin everything

but when perfection comes,

at least what I have

the imperfect disappears.

but can I take the chance

When I was a child,

that someone would understand

I talked like a child,

that truth wouldn't shame me

I thought like a child,

now that I realized

I reasoned like a child.

the little girl knew

When I became a man,

and who are you

I put childish ways behind me.

to act in a way

Now we see but a poor reflection in a mirror;

that would make others treat me badly

then we shall see face to face.

as if the blame was mine

Now I know in part;

because I denied them

then I shall know fully,

when they were right

even as I am fully known.

but not about me

And now these three remain:

and that little girl is all grown up

faith, hope and love.

trying not to be scared

But the greatest of these is love.
