Remeber, that not to be Happy is to not to be gratful.

It's all or nothing now

I watch the two of them be foolish
I watch them displace blame
I watch them make fools of them selves
I watch them aspire to the unattainable
I watch them expect the unacceptable
I watch them act out
I watch them make excuses
I watch them pretend to know
I watch them and I remember

I remember when I was foolish
When I displaced blame
When I made a fool of myself
When I did not reach my aspirations
When I behaved unacceptably
When I acted out
When I made excuses
When I pretended to know


I watch the two of them and my heart breaks with the inevitable.
I watch them and my heart swells with hope.

What does for better or for worse mean?
What does in sickness and in health mean?
What does for richer or poorer mean?

Your lives will never be what you expect.
The dreams and goals that were never attained
can not be blamed on anyone but yourselves

You may be looking for inspirational words
Words of peace and complacency
Words of kindness and charity

I do not have those words for you
Because the journey you are contemplating starting
Has nothing to do with all things great and wonderful

To the male, I ask:
Is this divine order?

To the female, I ask:
Do you have a right?

Good luck on your tumble I hope you both land on your feet.
