A Marriage

In a marriage, it is lucky 
When the spouses are in sync,
Which does not mean they concur 
In all the ways they sometimes think.

Still, if they are in agreement 
In most big important ways,
There’s a level of contentment 
Which infuses all their days.

When they complement each other,
With their talents or their skills,
Then the time they spend together
Forms a union which fulfills.

I am part of such a marriage 
And so grateful to have found
Someone I can always count on
And be glad to be around.

A prize winner in my opinion, Ilene, and I'm sure your husband feels the same way about you and you do about him. / Maurice
