"A writer must never be short of ideas."
-Gabriel Agreste- (Fictional character- Miraculous)


Sad Dad walked his girl
She had tears of glee and glum
Her hand changed her life

The charming white dress 
showed the peace in the girl's mind
Her hair was no mess

Guy was excited
Which made the Dad so frightened
But he had no choice

Dad's glad for his girl
And her brand new life ahead
He wore a slight smile

The Guy's big sisters
Had planned a prank to trick them
But could not do so

The learned tester came
Looked at the Girl and the Guy
And chanted his words

Then, came out a juice,
then hugs, talks and rushes 
Soon they headed out

A fancy car arrived
Went in the girl and the guy
life is shining new


The author's comments:

My name is Afra. I was born on the 29th of December. I am a Sri Lankan currently residing in Kandy, Sri Lanka. I dedicate my poem to My Dad, Mom, Ameer Uncle, Paji Aunty, my Granny Janufa Reyal, Khaniz Umma, Soodha Umma, Awrah, Amdhi, Aara, Sathvika and My late Grandpa Rahmath Appa. If they weren't there, my poem won't be here. And I also dedicate this to all the readers of Teen Ink. 

I chose to write about marriage because due to Covid, we are not able to attend marriage ceremonies. In a marriage, all relatives get together and have an interaction which never happens everyday. I really miss those good old days before Covid and I do wish that this pandemic would end soon. Stay safe, dear readers.

This is a beautiful poem. One of my sisters got married and I guess this was everyone's feeling at that time.

we are all born with a divine fire in us. our effort should be to give wings to this fire.

OMG so emotional I love it and how you put emotion into your writing, I started tearing up a little bit, when I read your poem!

@Afra your poem is so obsessive and intresting,
simply its incredible

@WolfGurl Thank you so much for your wish is a rare one as I don't get much wishes from friends...
And Thank you for your appreciation too because It brightened my day...All you have to do is to be the person who you want the emotion of and then, feel the situation and just write it down and you know, edit, cut and stuff...
You too write well and I even read the book which you write the review about...
Thanks again...★★★
