Sonnet: God-Given Spouse Is Best

The horse once wild looks well-trained and now tamed; It found a mate to graze life together; Her joyful heart, no longer looks now maimed; Both have a mead and life’s changing weather. The bird once freed enters her cage again; She isn’t alone, her mate with her resides; The cage is cozy, boon and not a bane; It looks so roomy for God dwells besides. ’Tis left to us in life to remain wild; Marriage is like a bridle and a cage; No one forever can remain a child; Most raise a family and die with age. God-given spouse is best for everyone; Tho’ many stars, the earth has just one sun! 9-26-2002
