Commitment to Marriage

Marriage can be hard work

At times even a chore

A blending of differences

To some even a bore

Words either said or not

Equally inflict pain

Outlooks can become bleak

battles create strain

But life itself has ups and downs

many shades of blue

Don’t rush to label it a mistake

Wait and see it through

Remember commitment to the words

for better of for worse

By design the ideal time to leave is

chauffeured in a hearse

Even love which has been quenched

can rekindle to draw nigh

Anything can become possible

If both will only try

Many times reasons marriages fail

are little things no longer done

Things, which drew them together

both were having fun

Marriage can be a wonderful joy

which nothing can compare

If two hold on to their promise

To make the journey there
