I was of age before I got engaged <br />All I bargained for... <br />A marriage not a cage <br />A home not a dome <br />Love not a glove <br />A friend not a foe <br />An ally no an adversary <br />A companion not a competitor <br />A help-mate not a hell-mate <br />I longed for a garden of Eden... <br />with peace, love, harmony and the wisdom... <br />To deal with 'the Serpent' and all its tricks and trap <br />My Children around me, my spouse beside me <br />To live and serve God altogether <br />(November2006 Porto Novo)<br /><br />Cephas Rotimi Oluwaseyitan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marriage-engagement/
