Ode to Marriage 40 lines

Many rosy dreams make the youth

For both. Marriage is youth's sweet tooth

But girls shy away, they have no voice 

Boys have nerve but cannot make a choice  

Youth is full of challenges for both

Tooth and nail they fight for growth

To fulfill their dreams, they take the oath

The parents bring them to marriage path

They hurry up and choose the bride

In timely marriage they take pride 10

Marriage in the early days is mirth

Man thinks that wife is a boon

So, he flies from off the earth

And takes her to honeymoon

Men admire angles women admire bangles 

Women are men’s angles men buy them bangles

Women lose their heart for colours

Women’s are men’s colours. 

A few years of gripping romance

With child birth vanishes the chance 20

Slowly the youth fades into middle age  

Life is staid in the middle of the maze

Children deprives the youthful joys

Both forget to make their choices

Man and woman are set to parent roles

Children are most parents’ goals

As children grow, they go into their controls

Then comes the old age and retirement

Children’s attitude brings enlightenment

Parents and children often have a block 30

To parents that is always a shock

Career and wife are their serious goals

You stop playing serious parents’ roles

Take into your hands the lost controls

Old age says goodbye to responsibilities 

You are lucky if you have no liabilities

Take the chance for Love and freedom 

Otherwise, life can be hell of boredom

Here is your chance for second youth 

The time is short you live with truth 40

Time again to buy her some yellow bangles

Men admire angles women admire bangles
