Marriage Is a Letting Go

January 15, 2017

Dear Subscriber:

Each week we examine a theme from a variety of points of view. The theme for this week is marriage.

Today’s poem is about the need for married couples to surrender to marriage.

I welcome comments on my poems at http://nicholasgordon.blogspot.com.

Yours,

Nick Gordon

Marriage is a letting go,

A plunge into the deep.

No one need the currents fear

Nor hesitate to leap.

You may your spirits keep.

More is gained by giving up

And less by taking in.

Remember that to dwell in joy

You must make room within.
