At The Crossroads
Having arrived at the crossroads of life,
thinking whether or not to be your wife.
It’s not easy to say just yes or no.
Marriage is too sacred to play the fool.
I’ve seen my friends divorce after a year
which seeks to prove marriage is cause for fear.
But then again, it might not be so bad.
Think once again of all the joy we had.
Of how we first made love when you urged to.
You said no girl you knew could be this true.
Convinced of this, my heart now rules my mind
which packs me off to be a bride with pride.
Hours have passed, yet you still have not come,
knowing the womb inside me grows with time.
