What is a Marriage?
The joining
of forces;
A
partnership;
Equal
standing in the corporation
Of life and
love.
Writers
pooling ideas,
Scientists
testing theories,
Two people
sharing.
Marriage is
not the contract
Or the piece
of paper;
Marriage is
two people who love each other.
And when
their souls mesh,
Intertwined
and inseparable
The piece of
paper
Codifies
their love
And shouts
to the world –
We love each
other
And will
‘til eternity!
