Where There Is A Will, There Is A Way Poem by narayana aghalaya

Goldie had to wed;
everyone had said ' yes, yes',
but lockdown flagged red;
how can baraath come, sans bus?
endless curfew, parties cursed.

new dates too didn't help;
with lockdown two, three and four;
' should act', Goldie felt;
dilly-dally to endure,
Goldie didn't like for sure.

at home, telling none,
Goldie went walking whole day,
reached groom's place alone,
fifty miles left right, all the way;
that trip, in her mind will stay.

groom's side was surprised;
but they quickly called a priest;
the moment was prized;
the wedding and then the feast;
her will power left all pleased.

Goldie 19 a girl from UP was getting frustrated at the repeated postponement of her wedding due to lockdown and curfew.
She took the unusual step of walking 50 miles from early morning till late evening, to arrive at groom's place, all alone.
They were surprised but quickly arranged the marriage rituals.
Baraath is the bridegroom's party which usually arrives with much fanfare to the wedding venue, in North Indian weddings.
