Lifetime Commitment: The Best Gift Ever

Whenever I’m alone in a quite place
Trying to figure things out of my own pace
Comparing life from past to present
And asking myself what changed?

Yes. I’m looking for some progress
That somehow can define my efforts for to achieve success
But what success really matters in life
For someone like me trying to be better as a wife?

As I look back from years ago
I had list of personal goals and some places to go
But when I feel in love with someone who pledged to give me the best
That goals of mine changed. I lived as wife and I reserve nothing for myself.

I vowed to love my husband and to take good care of him as long as we live,
While also expecting a strong support, love, and security that he could give.
In a small shelter we share the life, dreaming together for a better life
As we grow old, I’ve seen his sacrifices to achieve stability so we can build our own family.

Now a small human inside of me is about complete us,
Excitement and pressure for the new phase of life is on us
Everyday I noticed extravagant efforts from my husband doing household chores, and laundry
While working overnight chasing for more income and save-up before the most awaited day

As look around me, seeing women struggling every day and complaining about a family
I could see how blessed I am to be with someone who knows his responsibility
Yes, marriage could be hard and scary but having a life-time commitment would better
If God will give you the right man and that will be the best gift ever.
