‘’Tis time for marriage, daughter dear, ’ <br />Her father tells her lovingly; <br />‘You cannot have your parents near, <br />For aging turns all elderly.’ <br /> <br />‘’Tis time you chose a life-partner, <br />And have a family of your own; <br />We love to see our grand-children <br />Come eat, and play and have great fun.’ <br /> <br />‘Your parents are now getting old; <br />You cannot stay with them life-long; <br />Living alone is for the bold; <br />In solitude, most things go wrong.’ <br /> <br />‘Matrimony’s a sacrament – <br />A vow to share your joys and woes, <br />With your one spouse and have a home, <br />Where love, peace, harmony prevail.’<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/tis-time-to-get-married/
