Sticking Together

For better or worse For good or for bad In sickness or in health In riches or in poverty On good days and bad When she drives you mad When he has made you sad When nothing makes you glad When you think speaking is a must When you bite your tongue to avoid the fuss When you are cold and she is hot When he’s looking old and you are not When you have money to buy a lot When you must keep what you’ve got To have and to hold In the heat and in the cold From when we are young until we grow old Never to fold no matter what you’ve been told Committed to the beast and the beauty When it’s pretty and when it’s ugly When your words are few And no one cares for your point of view When your opinions are right, with lips tight You still must sit and stew When you should speak up and be heard Or when you are quiet as a mouse Or when the home has turned Into just another house When the house is cold inside And it’s not just you When words like honey, sugar, and sweetie pie no longer seem due When you have fits and fights and want to quit It’s about time we all get a clue Wr02/2007;Post122615;PoSpCtest, A Cheerful Rhyme, Gauthier032820
