Close your eyes and let me navigate you through the blind spot of life till we are grey
Grey? I do not want to hear about the passage of time.
Pray tell, how will you navigate us out of the current financial conundrum your latest brilliant plan landed us in!
Stop it Tomini, timing is a major luxury not mini
What happened to our shared moments and happiness
Why does everything have to be about wealthiness
Like I mentioned before, the grey moment is the great moment in time we share in merriment.
This isn’t a matter of wealthiness
I tire of empty promises
I thought marriage will be a journey of togetherness
Yet once again I am to bear watching our children manage in sufferness
Shared moments of happiness cannot make up for financial carelessness
Your mantra has always been “No finance, no romance”
For ten years now, you have marred my age in this marriage.
Your complaints are insane and remains the same.
Yet, with smiles before all you once promised for better, for worse
For better I pray
For worse i cast away
What is love without the beautiful days
Watching my children energetic in play
Or seeing them dismayed and frail
Oh for better I pray!!
What is life without Ups and Downs
Oh Dearest!
Let not the strives of life weigh you Down
Wealth is never an assurance to happiness and Peace
If we tarry on our knees
Prayers and supplication can bring our needs
If only we believe.
Alas, my love, my partner for life,
Don’t mistake my words for conflict and strife,
But these are the concerns that cut deep into my heart
Acknowledging them would be a loving start,
To build a love and form new memories of happiness,
Our love to grow into mature state of blissfulness.
