Sonnet: When A Daughter Is Just Married… Poem by Dr John Celes

The hand that held her daddy's hand till now,
Begins to hold her husband's hand for life;
The change of feel is sexual, mature, wow!
-A special one, romantic and not rife.

‘A freedom from her father's clasp and love;
A union with her man about her age;
A miracle of Almighty above;
A ‘parrot' set afree from home and cage! '

The separation has to come some day;
A daughter must become a wife to one;
Man's better half, must wield power and say;
A Holy Matrimony is thus done.

Her dad has found the man aright for her;
The nuptial bond will change her state - mother!
