The Mosaic

The portrait of marriage a
Mosaic,
Made from hundreds of pieces, 
Large and small but all of the 
Same importance, 
Together put 
In 
A masterful way for the desired outcome 
To attain:  
The completion of the portrayal of  
A relationship, a life to last

Unfortunately,
No one has ever been blessed all 
Pieces to amass
As 
To perfection the given portrait to 
Produce
For 
Always some parts will be missing or 
Not the desired ones would be in the
Right place
Thus
The portrait never gets done to 
The artist’s complete satisfaction 
However, 
A good artist has to keep in mind the 
Essential parts
That 
Should never be missed from any mosaic
Of the sort:
Trust escorted by honesty
Selfishness coupled with admiration 
Sensuality tied with affection 
Love united with devotion 
And 
The X factor, that the majority never 
Under consideration takes: 
Synchronicity
For
Without it, all efforts will sooner or later,
Fail!

Dear Demetrios, Indeed, the "mosaic" never seems perfect. My late husband always said I was too independent, but it was a little thing that never came between us. I like the "ingredients" in your recipe for a perfect union. Synchronicity, feeling the same way at the same time, is often elusive, but some people seem to find it. Thanks for writing; I returned your Soup Mail. Love, Carolyn

I agree, Maurice. It takes a wise person to identify all of the things that make a union work!
