Marriage Poem It's been years and counting... It's not so easy for us all But it's been beautiful! We've calmed stormy seas. We've grown petals on solid rocks. We've made dreams out of nightmares. We've made stories out of letter Of how you've done this and that. Of how we've both stood and sat. A journey which we thought would be laughable, But since we took the first step, it's been nothing short of laudable, That which was termed incompatible, Has now blossomed to be the most formidable. I'm grateful for the gift of you! For you stir my soul's water anew! There's no point pretending around you! Because my thoughts are made bare before you. Thank you for all the times you've assisted. Thank you for all the small talks and huge talks. Thank you for all the times, your shoulder I cried on. ©Akonu Emmanuel
