On Her Wedding Day Poem by Gajanan Mishra

On her wedding day
I told my daughter,
Remember, dear, you are
going to the in-laws,
treat your mother-in-law
as your teacher,
follow there the words
of your husband as scriptures,
put no question to the husband
at any time even by mistake,
submit yourself always,
and tackle the situation
in a peaceful ways with patience,
Study the mind of your husband
and stay in truth,
Answer not to other men
besides husband,
Don't be envious, my dear,
to anybody anywhere for anything,
Remember, you are the lighter
and the initiator of
the new world there, take care.
