Notes About The Poem

Marriage a Blend

Marriage between man and woman is a blending of many elements
This could be complicated because blending involves sentiments

Marriage allows two lives to deepen love and enlightenment
You have chosen against all odds to grow into a life of endearment

This bonding you see is not about bondage or control
It’s about two giving to each other becoming one whole

A healthy marriage relationship begins with mutual respect 
This is where you pledge to one another to love and protect

You are walking hand and hand with someone to share your energy
On this journey you may have to learn how do deal with things cleverly

Some say a marriage is like a casserole which has many parts
It’s important you keep what you put into it close to your hearts

If the two of you have the strength to learn to embrace diversity
Your marriage will have a deeper meaning with less adversity

There is no marriage relationship comes with a guarantee of success
So it’s important that you get on your knees and pray to do your best

With patience, you will experience many sunrises, sunsets, and moments
This will leave you with the fragrance of an endless bloom of fulfillments
