L Milton Hankins Poet Sonnet

True Love Will Endure

Fancy the reasons why love is so elusive
Could be we don’t know what we look for,
Feelings that with love are not conducive
Strange so many do not know the score
Looking for love “in all the wrong places,”
Confusing true love with an infatuation,
Equating it with beautiful or perfect faces
Often can lead to the nastiest situations.

Generally, love requires time to mature
Knowing yourself and your expectations,
Commitment in love is not for the unsure
I say, always beware of those hesitations.
Work toward a relationship that is secure,
I'm convinced that true love will endure.

Jenna Logan August 21, 2022 at 3:48 AM Love is too often confused with baser emotions. Just my thought, though I may be a bit disillusioned with it at the moment. You put it in proper perspective. L Milton Hankins August 21, 2022 at 7:11 PM Oh, I think so, too, Jenna. Thanks so much for your thoughtful comment.

In these times you never know the next time you will see your friend again these are crazy times. Enjoy all you can with those that are special. Have some of that fried dough for me. Blessings... L Milton Hankins August 20, 2022 at 3:05 PM Thanks, Michael. I'm giving serious thought to going to the Kentucky State Fair tomorrow, so, if I do I won't be around most of the day. It has been a long time since I've been to a state fair, but a good friend is making a presentation and I'd hate to miss it.
