What Marriage Should Be

First, marriage should be love
all encompassing, total, and free.
Love that grows stronger each day
soft murmurs of   THEE, THEE, THEE.

Second, marriage should be sacrifice
giving of self, regardless of reward.
A gift gladly given with open heart
shielding against, lifes' cutting sword.

Third, marriage should be commitment
utter loyalty, felt deep to the bone.
Absolutely, no questions to be asked
faithfully promised, never to be alone.

Lastly, marriage should be forever
firmly bonded, yet all still free.
Lives joined with love, sacrifice, commitment
an eternity promised with....
THEE, THEE, THEE
