Love Poem: Sticking Together

Sticking Together

For better or worse
For good or for bad
In sickness or in health
In riches or in poverty

On good days and bad
When she drives you mad
When he has made you sad
When nothing makes you glad

When you think speaking is a must
When you bite your tongue to avoid the fuss
 When you are cold and she is hot
When he’s looking old and you are not

When you have money to buy a lot
When you must keep what you’ve got                               
To have and to hold
In the heat and in the cold                                                                     

From when we are young until we grow old
Never to fold no matter what you’ve been told
Committed to the beast and the beauty
When it’s pretty and when it’s ugly

When your words are few
And no one cares for your point of view
When your opinions are right, with lips tight
You still must sit and stew

When you should speak up and be heard
Or when you are quiet as a mouse
Or when the home has turned
Into just another house

When the house is cold inside
And it’s not just you	
When words like honey, sugar, and sweetie pie                                               no longer seem due  

When you have fits and fights and want to quit
It’s about time we all get a clue
