Poem
If we own love, we marry to share For each other to care For the long haul genuine love to declare Despite God creating us with different procreative functions Where God intended in marriage to impose no sanctions At the inception of marriage and later at mature junctions Where as husbands we play our more external roles While our wives fly to attain their more internal goals To ensure harmony pervades our matrimonial bowls Regardless of how fast or slowly to intimacy we respond While we strive over the years to each other to correspond To function seamlessly in our matrimonial pond, to cement our bond Despite challenges that lurk in the background As we learn to iron out pesky problems on the ground Endeavouring to the best of our abilities to get around Obstacles as to each other we render support and honour At breakfast, at lunch and at dinner where we grow cleaner Love, understanding without becoming meaner When tempers out of control Set alight petrol on patrol If we scribble nonsense on our matrimonial scroll Which we can rejig by getting right the fundamentals Comprising sharing, supporting and honouring petals To reap serenity unless we invest in misconceptions to reap nettles.
