Unshaken Love

Our love is so real, yet,we can`t be together, Silly tradition... Families at loggerheads, how can love be so painful? Past haunts the present, but our love is unshaken, despite parents row, We`re ready to break this seal and remain close til death parts... CONTEST:"Tanka -Love and Marriage" sponsored by Sandylvy Davis

This is lovely Arowolo! It's sad but so many couples are separated due to traditions and family. I like how you've concluded - break the seal - that's the only way to move foward. Nice!
