Marriage
How very much like a lottery
Marriages are.
Like entering a raffle
to win the car.
There’s a lot of luck involved.
But when luck runs out
and is not in your favour,
It’s then you’ve got to
curve your marriage behaviour.
And have a bit of love.
And let down your personal mask.
That’s what really makes
a good marriage last.
