Notes About The Poem

A comment on what marriage is about.

It's Easy To Get Married

It's Easy To Get Married
(for Bella and Dalton)
By Franklin Price

It's easy to get married
Just say the words, “I do”.
Place the rings upon your fingers
You've now made one from two.

Forever are the vows you've made
To love and honor year to year
A fifty, fifty proposition
From both sides, I hope that's clear.

Sometimes it's sixty -  forty
Sometimes a hundred -  oh.
Think of each other, as yourself,
They're your other half you know.

Different points of view will happen
When they come, don't break, but bend
Your spouse is  not your enemy
They're your better half and friend

Keep no secrets from each other
Truth and love should be what's told
Adjust the halves, to keep the whole,
And together you'll grow old
