To Become Love

I don’t want a bitter heart
I don’t want to live in selfishness or rage
I want to be whole and free and well
I want to become love 

You say that love is patient and kind
That love isn’t proud, irritable, or jealous 
I want to be like that, 
I want to become love 

Love isn’t easily angered
And is able to let go and forgive 
All the while still rejoicing when the truth wins out
I want to become love 

I want to stop keeping records of wrong
And start allowing for others’ faults
To not hold onto offenses
I want to become love

I love because you first loved me
I know about love because it is who you are
Can you help me to become like you?
Can you help me to become love?
