Like Pets On The Earth Like Birds In The Skies Poem by Akhtar Jawad

Sit on the earth like a faithful pet
and fly in the sky like the loyal birds
The pets and the birds fore see an earthquake.
Man feels it when the roof falls upon.
Learn something from the birds and the pets,
how they become restless before a disaster.

The lovers ecstatic in their flight of romance
drinking wine of joy during a courtship dance
always misjudge their ecstasy of weak moments
as a love that can keep them together always.

Most couples succeed in building a shock proof house
as they go on strengthening the basement by
by looking at their faces in their children's faces.
Their children force them to pass a life of compromises.

Gradually the ecstasy of weak moments
undergoes through a process of evolution
it takes time to be changed in a true love.
The lovers during a short separation
when start missing each other,
thinking and regretting
their misdeeds and misbehaviors
it's love that has started now.

A residence is changed in a shock proof house
with a strong basement of love and understanding
secured walls formed by the children
and a durable roof built by blessings of God.
It can withstand the earthquakes of life
that do not announce before their arrivals.

But like lovely pets
on the earth
and like birds
in the skies
romance and conjugal life may run side by side.
That's how a conjugal life is a beauty to enjoy.
