Marriage At The Right Age

Submitted by mvvenkataraman on Mon, 22/06/2009 - 11:27

When two souls strongly opine
That in life they must combine
Their action is considered Divine
If through wed-lock their lives align

Love between two must deepen
Ultimately marriage must happen
To reveal love, hearts must open
Of all, love is the very best weapon

Love may not be shown openly initially
It will be nourished in heart confidentially
One day it must be expressed specially
It must culminate in marriage especially

Something in a girl captivates
Entire body-system, she activates
When she also heartily reciprocates
All of a sudden gloominess vacates

At the right time love must be declared

A Valediction of Weeping (John Donne)

Let me pour forth
My tears before thy face, whilst I stay here,
For thy face coins them, and thy stamp they bear,
And by this mintage they are something worth.
For thus they be
Pregnant of thee;
Fruits of much grief they are, emblems of more;
When a tear falls, that thou fall'st which it bore;
So thou and I are nothing then, when on a divers shore.

You mean so much to me-
and I just wanted
you to know
how very much I care...

Our love is like a lovely bridge
Between your heart and mine
A bridge we've built down through the years
Just to our own design.

To My Dear and Loving Husband (Anne Bradstreet)

If ever two were one, then surely we.
If ever man were lov'd by wife, then thee.
If ever wife was happy in a man,
Compare with me, ye women, if you can.
I prize thy love more than whole Mines of gold,
Or all the riches that the East doth hold.
My love is such that Rivers cannot quench,
Nor ought but love from thee give recompense.
Thy love is such I can in no way repay;
The heavens reward thee manifold I pray.
Then while we live, in love lets so persever,
That when we live no more, we may live ever.

Anne Bradstreet (1612-72)

Words from a Native American Wedding Ceremony (Author Unknown)

May the sun bring you new energies by day,
May the moon softly restore you by night,
May the rain wash away any worries you may have,
And the breeze blow new strength into your being,
And then, all the days of your life,
May you walk gently through the world,
and know its beauty and yours.

A Chinese Poem (Author Unknown)

I want to be your friend forever and ever
When the hills are all flat
And the rivers run dry
When the trees blossom in winter
And the snow falls in summer,
When heaven and earth mix
Not till then will part from you.

Now you will feel no rain, for each of you will be the shelter for each other. Now you will feel no cold, for each of you will be the warmth for the other. Now you are two persons, but there is only one life before. Go now to your dwelling place to enter into the days of your life together. And may your days be good and long upon the earth.
