A peaceful marriage will have little passion
and a passionate affair can have no peace
But behold the nourishing nature of Friendship
which abides through the tides of ebb & neap,
gently flows along beside the weeping,
douses the flame of anger with sweet persuasion,
rallies an occasion for laughter ever after,
knows fully that all is folly so let's be jolly
and enjoy the view while we can;)
