Thats What Love Is
  (The Stress of Giving Less)


Two people
giving their all
beyond the call
of duty.
Anything less
will lead to
failure and distress...

How do I know?
I've experienced
the stress
that comes
from giving less.

Thank you FNG, Bodger, inspire, passing shadows and ethome for the nice responses...
Bodger this was written after I experienced a period of stress in my life...my Mom having recently passed away, I went to my sons wedding and saw my ex-wife, I unexpectedly broke up with my girlfriend, her choice, and when the past met the present, and in a time of stress, I was able to see more clearly how badly I had failed in my marriage of many years ago...however in my present relationships I do give my best...James
