‘’tis Time To Get Married! ’

‘’Tis time for marriage, daughter dear, ’ Her father tells her lovingly; ‘You cannot have your parents near, For aging turns all elderly.’ ‘’Tis time you chose a life-partner, And have a family of your own; We love to see our grand-children Come eat, and play and have great fun.’ ‘Your parents are now getting old; You cannot stay with them life-long; Living alone is for the bold; In solitude, most things go wrong.’ ‘Matrimony’s a sacrament – A vow to share your joys and woes, With your one spouse and have a home, Where love, peace, harmony prevail.’
