Love Poem: True Love As Per God

True Love As Per God

What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;
this is.. true love
True love as per God
What is, true love
Love is what does;
and how do you know you love someone;
Did you forgive your enemy;
Did you give a charity;
Did you do more than show me;
show me that you know me;
What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;
this is.. true love
True love as per God
And that you know what true love is
Man says  it's a melting feeling an essence;
I say it's beyond the every vision;
A thought within love sense of peace;
A look a warm embrace;
A gentle peck, a kiss on the face
What is love
Is it a verb;
What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;
this is.. true love
True love as per God
And do you, will you show me
Will you love me like the Father God says you ought too;
Let me interject. . . .
is love kindness, does it understand, is it supported, comforts forgiving receiving is this love is this love;
is love respected, believed patent, judgmental, is it trusting, dearest warmth and beloved;
Are any of these things love;
What does God say love is;
Like Christ would you die for your
Friend, your sister, your brother,
Your father, your mother, any other fellow human;
Always Forgiveness, Always Obedience, 
Could these be the meaning of Love as Per God;What is, true love
God said
God said true love is
He would allow His son to die on the cross;
For the loss;
this is.. true love
True love as per God
