Marriage Poem by Michael Gelb

Marriage

Why should a man marry
Not only your name will she carry

What about the love she has for you
You must have feelings for her to

You can really make her heart sing
Ask her to marry you and give her a ring

It has to make you feel good that she will be in your heart
When she says yes and a new family you will start

You set the date then comes that day
Now that day is here and the words I do you both say

Now that she has your last name
Your wife and your kids will share something the same

Some days will probably go by
You will argue and you will make her cry

Stop to think don’t let bad words tear your love apart
It may just take a few kind words and kiss for a new start

In years to come you will feel good
The way a father and husband should

You will be proud your last name will carry on
Your kids will be grown, get married and move on

Your kids will still call you dad
That’s a great feeling a great family is never bad

Don’t let things and time go by to fast
Try to make everything and every minute last
