Is it Really True?

Nancie    Norton
For a long time I've had these words taped
on my mirror...I don't remember who wrote
it, but it says alot..........
Before you love,
Learn to run through snow,
leaving no footprint..........

Just wrote a few more haikus....

Is love really real?
Sometimes I don't know for sure
Is it give or take?

My experience
Tells me that it is all give
I gave all I had

I have to wonder
Sometimes about real true love
Is it really true?

Can someone tell me
Is love always so painful?
I know it can't be

    Love is real, but isn't always easy. There are ups and downs but it still survives. Excellent haiku.

    Excellent haiku's. I should try that form. I just can't seem to get a feel for it! Love is all those things and more!

    Love is really real, not give and take, it only wants to give even not receiving anything. If Love recieves somethings as reward then it makes a strong bond. Did you see my poem True Love ???

    You saidit already : "I know it can't be"............................so love is real, it can have ups and downs, can sometimes hurt, but real love always prevails................................

    Love is real..sometimes relationships have ups and downs..but still survive..other times people do part..move on...but it hurts very bad..I was married for many years..then divorced..but even to this day..it hurts..even though I am now remarried to a wonderful man..divorce is like a death !!..

    Love can be true...... love can be real ,,,,,,,,,, it is not all give, if it were not real and true, then the way you look at your kids or your grandkids would be completely different. Kids give back the love they feel. Love between two adults takes time and a lot of work everyday, not just in the bedroom, but in all things, not just when it is convenient. If both do not work at it, it is not true love. It has to be shown as well as felt. Good Job Miss Nancie ken

    That seems to be the way it ends.
