Never marry

Never marry

A Poem by julz

When I was younger my mother would sit me down and say to me

Never marry a doctor. He will spend so much time healing complex diseases that he would ignore your pains.

Never marry an actor. He will easily deceive you with his staged role plays.

Never marry a photographer. He will not see your beauty because he takes pictures of models everyday.

Never marry a lawyer. If he can lie to make a whole jury believe him, he will do it to you.

Never marry a business man. He will always put his money ahead of you.

She would go on and on till the list was impossible to remember. Then one day I asked. "What man should I marry then?"

She smiled and said. "Marry  a carer, a motivator, an 'understander', a protector and most of all a lover."

My mother was right. Don't marry a man for what he does for a living but rather marry him for who he is :)

Well said. Marry on the bases of true love and all other concerns or things will fall in place. Nicely written.
