Reflections On Labor Day

It is always hard to measure 
When people experience romantic pleasure 
Expressing love 
Peaceful as a dove 
For one another 
Warm sentiments resulting in Father and Mother 
And the results could be 
A family of three 
But why can the knot 
Initiated from the looks they both got 
Bringing soothing trust 
Nervously crumbling at the knees begging a must 
Is it a crime?  
Just to make a lifelong commitment in time 
Gazing into the eyes 
Never telling any lies 
Focusing on a career 
Enjoying the weekend friendly beer 
Travelling the world 
Being the honeymoon guy and girl 
For some reason 
Due to couple’s pleasing 
Physical interaction 
Definition being getting some action 
Creates a situation 
Admitting the wife labeled hospital patient 
Products to buy 
Encountering all night cries 
Classes experience and try 
Pulled in different directions 
Bride’s body constantly under inspection 
Scared of rejection 
Honest facades no need for confession 
Economy stupid issue a reality addressing 
Dinner table clean up isn’t only messing 
Diapers are only one’s guessing 
Challenging the pair 
Come together in care 
As they share 
This component to the marriage affair 
When stork day arrives 
And the newborn realizes they are alive 
It is a joyous thing 
Giving glitz and glamour to the bonding ring 
Securing those special moments 
That had going 
Innocent and true 
Between two 
Who publically stated ‘I do’
