A special binding of love and care <br />In an unbreakable cord that is rare <br />Is what is all that marriage is about <br />That doesn't yield any mistrust and doubt <br /> <br />Dear friend I hope you must know <br />One thing that both of you must owe <br />To each other is the bliss of love <br />In life's both harsh and smooth curve <br /> <br />So you must hold hands in hands <br />And cross fainly all dales and sands <br />And promise that after wearing the ring <br />You'll spend together all autumns and springs <br /> <br />And will try to find life's small gifts <br />Of joy and hope that're needed to uplift <br />Both of you in your periods of trial <br />With just a little miracle of laugh and smile <br /> <br />So always do your best and try <br />To smile even in the period of sigh <br />Because dear today you're buying a rare <br />Investment with a hope of love and care.<br /><br />Seema Chowdhury<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-wedding-prayers/
