Is true love really "give and take"? I think that's just a ruse. To me it seems when this is so Imbalance is the rule. Concessions dos't the giver make; The taker covets fare. Love's cast awry before you know You just forgot to share. So be apprised - there's much at stake In years you've yet to live. The only way true love shall grow Is if it's "give and give".

No truer words have been 'spoken' here. They always said 50-50 but each is really supposed to give 100%,for the relationship to work! You said it very well! MagnoliaBlue ~My Skipper Jim I love you! Your Lady June~ |

"The only way true love shall grow Is if it's "give and give"." These words are so true, my friend. Thank you for sharing this with us! "We are all in the gutter, but some of us are looking at the stars." -Oscar Wilde "The robbed that smiles steals something from the thief" -Shakespea |

Yeppers, I agree Nan. For someone to love me they got to give and give somemore! How about a vote for this one, eh? Yesterday is ash, tomorrow is smoke; only today does the fire burn. JP "Everything is your own damn fault, if you are any good." E. Hemmingway |

'Give and give'.. definitely, this is how I see love.. only give unselfishly, never ask for return. - James The beauty of nature is displayed, not through itself, but through the creatures dwelling within its bosom. |
