Sticking Together

For better or for worst; For good or for bad. In sickness or in health; In riches or poverty. In good days and bad, When he has made you sad. When she drives you mad; And nothing makes you glad. To have and to hold, In the heat and in the cold. From when we are young until we grow old; Never to fold no matter what we’ve been told. When you think that speaking is a must. When you bite your tongue to avoid a fuss. When he is cold as ice; And she is hot as fire. When he is looking old; And she is not. When you have money to buy a lot; Or when you must keep what you’ve got. Committed to the beauty and the beast; When it’s pretty or when it’s ugly. When you are thin; Or when you are fat When you are as loud as a dog; Or when you are as quiet as a cat. When your words are few because no one cares about your point of view. And when your opinion is right, and you still must sit and stew. When you speak up to be heard; Or when you are quiet as a mouse. When the home you dearly love has turned into just another house. When the house is cold inside, And it’s not just you. When words like honey, sugar, and sweetie pie no longer seem due. When you fight, have fits, and want to quit; That’s about the time to get a clue 02022007 cj PS
