Poetry: The love of a lifetime

by Melissa R. Bickel

Engaged by parental arrangement,
while babes in the crib, a traditional agreement.
Cultures as these seem so archaic,
will they comply or will they forsake it?

There are  times when marriages as these,
love grows strong like the mighty Oak tree.
Withstanding the odds stacked against them ~
Becoming the love of a lifetime, more than tradition.
