A matrimonial deal
A piece of paper sealed their fate
From distant lands they came to meet
To start anew they had intended-
With no interest in love affairs.

He worked the mines and she the farms
So shy she was in his presence
I thought in silence why she'll risk-
Her life and joy for something less.

She found her joy in showing care
And he found bliss in honouring her
Time had played a vital role-
In nurturing love within their hearts.

I asked her one-day why she'll dare
To seal her fate without a care
A smile had played upon her lips-
And brightened up his weary eyes.

"The deal we signed had kept us grounded
Enough were joys that left us rounded
I found shukr and he found sabr
Eventually God sent us love".
