Analysis of My Lame Spouse



My Lame Spouse

You're still gritty
Though you've become lame,
Dear Darling!
For me, it's a matter of shame

With crutches you walk
Your sweet smiling talk,
Though crippled, you protect familial fort
Dear! Awesome is your whole hearted support

I admit
I was fully engrossed in worldly game,
Maddened me
Always after fame

My upsurges
I couldn't tame,
Isn't it Darling?
The matter of shame

Amazing your verve
Against my dampened nerve,
Your high spirited impulse
Oh! Poor my pulse

We are two wheels
Of our chariot familial,
But crippled your wheel
Really the matter crucial

Though you're impaired
Stout is your mind,
You can overcome odds
Of every kind

Though lame my spouse
Destiny's net I can browse,
One day we would find hopeful site

We would fly high like winner kite
