Wedlock rocks on petty differences <br /> <br />Egos surface and storms break to throw them asunder <br /> <br />Never to face each other and offspring. <br /> <br />Present predicament predicted the wise? <br />- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -<br /><br />AKELLA S.
