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. Written August 20, 2022

Your wisdom is pronounced here "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. "

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.

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.
