Marriage - A circle of love !!

Today, I stand at my balcony Feeling the cool breeze enter me Pacifying all my senses and made me to Take some leisure time to think about Our voyage in marriage so far. Its a mixed feeling.. One side I feel time has fled too fast Its like we just met a few days back On the other side, we know each other better Probably, better than what our parents know about us. Two years ago, I hated marriage Beleived its just suffering and never wanted to marry One year ago, I sat at my window With a hundred questions in my mind I felt like a tree which has been uprooted And handed over to a gardener to be planted somewhere else If the gardener forgot to water the tree even one day The tree would fade and start dying If he forgot to fence it properly The tree might be damaged by others How can the gardener handle so many responsibilities? Who should be pitied, the tree or the gardener? I wondered what is the guarantee of the tree surviving Rather, me surviving. I had a question - Why should we marry? We both started our journey Both of us did not know to drive Just a blind faith and confidence on one another And of course, on God. As we started our journey, you were driving slow and rough I lost my patience and started blaming you Little did I realize that Even you are like me and I might drive worser than you and The slower we go steadier our relationship would be You had more responsibilities being the driver Still, I didn't understand and I got upset I wondered, Why did we marry? Marriage is said to be an instituition where there's no distinction between the student and teacher. You have been A father, taking care of my needs A mother, pacifying a crying child A teacher, enlightening me A friend, discussing things A critic, correcting me A well-wisher, allowing me to grow A lover, cuddling me I wonder what have I learnt in this instituition so far? Some subjects are easy and some are tough But nothing is impossible with you by my side !! Faults are thick, when love is thin You forgive my faults instantly and so I realize how much you love me. I thought I'm the best in everything You've made me feel so small before you Ours is again a parent-child relationship Sadly, I'm the child always. Will I ever grow? God only knows. I wonder, Is ours a God-devotee relationship? I blame God when things go wrong. To whom else can I show my frustation? But, I seldom thank him for whatever good he has done. May be, I do the same with you. Sometimes I feel, God made a mistake and I'm not worthy to be your wife What am I giving you in return for all this? May be love, but more problems to solve But you never complain and I know you'll love me always I learnt that Love is not in being perfect. It is cultivating acceptance,patience and understanding. A year has been more than enough I feel satisfied and no more desires left Today, after a year I recollect your marriage oath You've been true to it so far You've been with me in both joys and sorrows I thank God for giving me a wonderful friend Still I wonder, why do I complain? But then, I realized there is no fun without arguments. Has any argument continued overnight? Have we got pissed off and stopped talking atleast for a day? What more is required for a successful marriage? Misunderstandings have made our relationship stronger !! I wanted to take an oath today But, you accept me the way I'm. So, I just tell to myself not to repeat my mistakes, Trust you more and grow up soon. Our marriage is indeed, a circle of love Flawless, without a starting or ending point !!
