“An Ode to Marriage”

Marriage is a wonderful feeling.

To love someone with all of your heart

and to share life-long memories

Soon new are created and only touched by the heart,

cared for by hands,

and watched over by eyes.

One woman and one man,

united under the guidance of wisdom,

and God,

one Family with another

may bring joy from within and out

but for me,

this one is the best!
