Understanding Judith Viorst Poem titled “True Love”.

Now the speaker talks about doing things with her husband that she holds a philosophical opposition too. It’s with compassion, understanding, caring, jealousy, passion and compromise that love exists. This feeling is a expressed as jealousy that he might be with someone else or fear he may be dead. Another pause and then she adds the feeling she gets when her man is late to come home for the dinner she has prepared. Realizing that physical beauty is not enough to explain what true love is, she seems to pause by saying “And because” (line 4). Even the loss of physical beauty with age can not affect this feeling of love. She expresses her distaste to the Green Bay Packers. Death she explains would be a better chouse between the to concepts. This too seem not enough explanation of true love. The following day comes, he does not rub his statement in when she has a hangover.
