Forty years ago
it was a mismatch
loving to watch
and hard to snatch
being a good catch.
He being tall
slim and handsome
She with a medium height
and a sturdy built
with an impressive spark
He walking through
in stride long
she taking quick short steps
He taking life as it comes
she going about with a fervour
he an introvert
within the family
She a stalwart
in the inner circle.
Hee moved with ease with the people around
where she had her own limitations
to get along with facility
He thinks much about himself
and it was always the “I”
that comes first
She loves her family giving it a priority
especially to her children and their welfare
pushing the “I” behind.
The two have been holding hands together
not for one or two years
but for forty long years
bearing children and incidentally
giving way to grand children
away they go in mirth
hand in hand
with a quip and a skip
with anger and joy
all mixed in one go
They move forward in life
with the hope of
getting away together very quick
.
