Following Faith Hope and Love

Love bears in all as it believes and hopes,
Love never fails as it endures and copes;
But can you live with love without another,
Without having faith or hope or any other;
Can you have love for someone without trust?
Or is love superficial filled with lust?
Are you able to have love without any faith?
Or are you living from day to day by fate?
If I speak with tongues of angels or of man,
Like no love and I am nothing with no plan;
Faith as hope needs love to endure things,
No matter what the day or evening brings;
Faith is an attitude ensuring you can do,
Everything that God is tasking you to;
Faith is trust in hope that drives desire,
Helping to reach goals you want to acquire;
Hope is built on faith trusting the unknown,
God will be with you and never feel alone;
Faith, hope and love abiding in all three,
The greatest of these is love I guarantee.
