MARRIAGE

it seems to me
from what i've seen
that marriage is
the biggest dream

so what is left
if that is true
in connection with me and you
 
that love is real
and might grow
is the one thing
that i know
 
but mixed with dreams
of certainty
that things of marriage
seem to be
will kill it
left center right
and make the dreams
as black as night
 
so what of sex
and what of kids
and all the joys
that life can give
 
i'll tell you truly
what i know
it's disappointment
they do sow
 
our only hope
i know it's grand
is locating god in man
