Marriage Is a Shelter

May you remember this note
 Always close all the windows
 Rest inside as the wind blows
 Really hard to shake the roof
 It's dangerous to be on the move
 As you may be struck by a bolt
 Go outside only when it's safe
 Even if you're extremely brave.

 Is it a wonder why some falter?
 Surely they can perform better.

 Ah! We often take it for granted. 

 See how many have been hurt
 Houses that are shaky will fall
 Even the grandest of them all
 Let us aspire to build the best
 That can pass the hardest test
 Every time there is a disaster
 Rest assured it won't shatter.
