It is so easy in America to get a divorce <br />For i have been there and done that a couple <br />of times <br />But i don't think there is anything worse <br />Than the hatefullness that develops in your <br />mind <br /> <br />For a marriage begins with hope it never ends <br />And no one goes into a marriage knowing it <br />wouldn't last <br />It is meant for everlasting love, a partner, <br />a friend <br />And standing by each other in the good times <br />and bad <br /> <br />Without marriage, what would life mean <br />No relationships means no bonding and no <br />family <br />Stuck in a world full of hearts that couldn't <br />be seen <br />Just groups of people mingleing and meddleing <br /> <br />Marriage should be regarded as the holiest <br />institution among men <br />For without it there should be no life worth <br />living <br />But in today's time, material things are valued <br />more than women or men <br />And we spend way too much time wanting more <br />rather than giving <br /> <br />With all that goes on in a breakup <br />When is it considered too late to try again <br />For after two divorces, i wanted to give up <br />Until i met someone that made me feel like <br />life just began again <br /> <br />Someone who always makes a long conversation <br />seem too short <br />Someone who listens to me and seems to care <br />The kind of relationship you could never abort <br />And a friendship thats so close, even when apart <br />there still there <br /> <br />I know in my heart this marriage is finally right, <br />my partner is finally right, and my life is finally <br />right <br />Who would have thought that true love could arrive <br />so late <br />But it did, and for the first time i see the light <br />For God has given me someone so wonderful that even <br />time could not take <br /> <br />For the love in this marriage feels like an accom- <br />plishment of a beautiful dream, and not, as it often <br />is, the end.<br /><br />Katherine Perry<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-marriage-not-too-late/
