Marriage will not always be
What you want it to be
There will be very testy times
And many challenges to surmount
But if we build from an honest heart
With a hand of affection
We will always triumph
The beautiful face you see today
Will not always be
Someday, it will turn wrinkled
That body will not always be healthy
Someday it will turn weak and dry
That slim shape you treasure so much
Will someday get overblown
Your handsome man will perhaps turn ugly
And your pretty sweet lady
Will not always look fresh, like from the start
Always accept changes
Remember where you both started from
Life aint easy, accept it
Always come back to your roots
With some introspection
On how you started out
Fight for your first true love
Always remember your purpose
And let the light of love
Shine through your marriage
I think people forget that a LOT. Always complaining about how the woman is fat. Though I'm not saying women shouldn't try to keep their figure when they've had children but guys should be realistic. Imagine the cheek of guys that have pot bellies complaining that their wives have grown fat hehe! You just wanna shout are you serious???
ReplyDeleteTrue talk wish more Nigerian men would come to this undersatanding
ReplyDeleteAmazing piece but it doesn't apply to only Nigerian...it apples to every 1
ReplyDeleteThis says it all..the only constant thing in life is change. Embrace change and your problems would be reduced. Nice one
ReplyDeleteThis is so true, you got it very correct the reason some marriages crumble or hit the rocks. But will we listen?
ReplyDeletethis is true. when people look into things like this, marriages last longer. good one!
ReplyDeleteSometimes change can be so hard to take and work with that is why people have to really understand that marriage is for a lifetime. In that lifetime a lot of things change. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteWow. so true. we need to redefine happily ever after.
ReplyDeleteLOL @ the slim shape being overblown. Did you have to be so descriptive???
ReplyDeleteGood stuff anyway.

'Change is an asspect of life, if you dont change, change will always change you'~ Anon
ReplyDeletelove the poem.
By the way did i say i love the new look and the music is just mwaaah..
have a great weekend
This is great. As per the beautiful face wrinkling or the 6 pack abs turning into a beer gut, hopefully we can handle the change IF we didn't base our marriage off the material and superficial aspects. Change is the only thing that is constant in our lives and when you commit to spending the rest of your life with someone else, there will definitely be changes along the way. Very encouraging.
ReplyDeleteHello TRYBES,
ReplyDeleteIf you don't mind:
MISUNDERSTOOD
I said I cried last night, didn’t say I died last night.
Came through the storm, was all right last night.
I cried tears of joy.
I wanted to be with them, not in them.
A longing for their presence
Had a hole, a role
Could have filled it with another star
But the part was made for them.
Others could have pulled it off
Everybody would have been paid
But that part was made for them.
Who said it? I didn't.
I said they left, too many nights filled with images of them.
Too many vows broken, the pain--had nothing left in my heart
Nothing but disdain for them.
What did you read?
The paper said divorced, not used,
not someone’s unwanted item to be taken for granted and taken to the resale shop
It said divorced, not nearly new... should say new.
Does it say I am not whole?
Is there an asterisk saying I am missing parts?
Where did it say I was void of love, compassion, hope ...dreams?
Does divorce strip a man of his manhood?
Does divorce imply that a women is love-less?
Where does it say nuclear waste!?
I fell down, rolled around, I got up.
That road is behind me.
My road is in front of me.
Read it again, did it say I was a toy to be played with?
Did it say spin this, use this, anyone can do THIS?
Divorced...read it one more time.
I doubt it...
I doubt it said without principles, absent of love.
Is softness and strong bold convictions the sole possessions of newlyweds.
If you think so, you got me twisted, convuluted
You got me messed up
You have me MISUNDERSTOOD!
