Age old saying about marriage, <br />Sacred bonding and not carriage, <br />It is not freedom from cage, <br />Necessarily arising with completion of age, <br /> <br />No one thought of its sanity, <br />What are marriage and its utility? <br />Does that stand for population continuity? <br />Permanent bond and relation in amity, <br /> <br />New relations with two families union, <br />End of sour relation and exit form oblivion, <br />Finding perfect match as true companion, <br />With gala dance and lavish dishes in pavilion, <br /> <br />So long confined within limits, can be perfect, <br />Enhancing prestige and image with great impact, <br />Adding to civility with understanding and respect, <br />Surely it is an arrangement and not a pact, <br /> <br />Lavish spending is not necessarily, <br />Simple marriage with blessings happily, <br />Out of reach expenditure will be simply silly, <br />Not a wise steps but committing folly, <br /> <br />Parent may suffer on account of marriage, <br />Colossal waste of money can’t manage, <br />Adding to worry with heavy burden, <br />Pressure may be high to tackle it sudden, <br /> <br />With over of ceremony no more worry, <br />Calm all over and nothing to hurry, <br />Simple way of parting beloved one, <br />Sharing of joy but pain by none<br /><br />hasmukh amathalal<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/marriage-48/
