<h2><SPAN name="chap83"></SPAN>MARRIAGE</h2>
<p class="poem">
You, who have given me your name,<br/>
And with your laws have made me wife,<br/>
To share your failures and your fame,<br/>
Whose word has made me yours for life.<br/>
<br/>
What proof have you that you hold me?<br/>
That in reality I’m one<br/>
With you, through all eternity?<br/>
What proof when all is said and done?<br/>
<br/>
In spite of all the laws you’ve made,<br/>
I’m free. I am no part of you.<br/>
But wait-the last word is not said;<br/>
You’re mine, for I’m myself and you.<br/>
<br/>
All through my veins there flows your blood,<br/>
In you there is no part of me.<br/>
By virtue of my motherhood<br/>
Through me you live eternally.<br/></p>
