I know some people <br />who have experienced both <br />the pleasure and the pain <br />and some of that pain still remains <br />with them to this day. <br />One had the pleasure when they were young <br />when the pleasure they had <br />was classed as wrong <br />and they became the scorn of the community. <br />They then fell in love, <br />but no wedding bells did play. <br />Now they say they live in sin. <br />What sin is this you ask? <br />When two people live together <br />and share their life with one another. <br />Maybe they are not married, <br />but their lives together are happy. <br />Who are we to condemn them <br />for everything they have, <br />certainly not I. <br />How can you condemn them <br />for living together as man and wife? <br />The answer is you cannot <br />for when you look at it <br />many marriages are only just <br />two signatures on a piece of paper. <br /> <br /> <br />15 October 2009<br /><br />David Harris<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/pleasure-and-pain-6/
