After Marriage

When I get up late, Just ask me, “Can I get lunch from a shop?” I’ll never be late. When I come home being tired, Just ask me, “Do you want a glass of water?” I’ll never show that I’m tired. When I wait for your arrival, Just ask me, “Do you feel hungry?” I’ll wait for you ever. When I am going to die, Just ask me, “Shall I hide you in my poems?” I’ll live with you ever. Yet, dear, Don’t try to do marvels, I love just little things, though trivial they may be. *2nd Placement* Jan. 4, 2021 PODIUM PLACING PROMISE(4) Poetry Contest Contest sponsor: Brian Strand 20 lines
