The fights were dreary and tiring;

The paths were weary and frightening.

My dazed eyes were longing

for that cozy sight of a family dining.

 Gone are the days of scrubbing dishes and floors-

the tasks today are more hard and strong.

As windows close, we make more doors

and push ahead headstrong.

Still, there was a time when I put up my hand

and refused to go anymore.

Then he came, held my hand

and told me, "Go!”

“I’ll come with you, stand by you

and hug you when you're scared."

Neither had he told me where to go

nor did he have the path all mapped.

 "Go! I’m with you!” is all he says

and stays with me on sunny and rainy days.

Neither did he impose conditions

nor chained my life to certain specifications.

It was only love, care and truth

to soothe my heart and make life smooth.

“How can you love his queer ways?''

I laugh at my friend’s solemn face.

 "Day & Night, waves crash at you

            and you need a rock to hold on to

He helps me face my challenges anew.

He's my rock and I love him true!”

“Who said love is a simple game?

It may not always be easy!

But, I swear on my name

it will be worth it, most likely!”
