Hi-Dong Chai Poet Free verse

Spouses

We live with our parents  
About twenty years 

Then  
We meet a stranger 
Fall in love  
Get married 
Raise children

Children leave home

But
Spouses 
Live together 
Forty years 
Fifty years  
Sixty years  
Or more 

Until death us
Do part 

Let us  
Love and honor  
Our spouses
