Wedding Vows....( A poem)

Too many materialize the meaning of marriage - 

CHAINED to a legal & binding contract:

Two Signatures on paper is a permanent pact.   

Women fantasize about a sizable ring and a big "phat" WHITE wedding.

What makes a marriage work is daily DEVOTION -

And a commitment DEEPER than any ocean.

See, they are after the WRONG thing:

Chasing an impossible dream...

They say the vows:: In sickness AND in health -

In poverty AND in wealth.

What they really want is a FREE ride

Rather than to stand tall by their man's side.

When it's time to live up to their PARTNERSHIP

They either float effortlessly or

SINK like the Titanic SHIP -

Clinging onto *tiny* life rafts.

Afraid to drown - to drop their crown.

Leaving behind NO guilt or remorse

Until  the powers of a SUPERNATURAL force

Reveals to the LOVE they have lost

And the heartbreak avoided at all costs.

Consider this a REALITY intervention -

When you WISH for something to happen -

Put forth PURE intention.

XOXO
