Instead of just myself to
Worry about, I'm now concerned
About Danny's well being, with
What pleases him, and what
Doesn't.
His blood pressure and other
Health issues now plague me
As well.
His families' problems become
Mine.
And it works both ways.
Danny bears my struggles along
With his own.
It's true that marriage is a treasure.
It more than doubles my pleasure.
Who can even calculate the joy?
But wedded bliss also entails
Wedded stress.
Anguish is the cost of love, and
Yet, it's a price I am willing to pay.
