Tying the Knot

Young couples are fools when it comes to love
Their hearts' innocence unbothered by ways of the world
For them life is Eden with angels singing above
Problems are dismissed whenever they are hurled.

As their souls are bounded by vows of matrimony
Begins finally their holy task as man and wife
The burdens of parenthood shall accompany their journey
To build a family is a tough job to strive.

Responsibilities may be a lot for a day's work
More often couples lose precious time for themselves
The fire igniting them once languished then shirked
Issues... conflicts... instead are further delved.

Sweetness that sealed their union have now gone sour
Marriage indeed have become the couple's destruction
Knowing your life can change in one deciding hour
Are relationships worth taking to the next motion?
