Blumenthal - "A Marriage"

“A Marriage” is one of those simple poems that pluck at the heart strings. All one wants in life is someone to help them hold up the ceiling. That is, everyone wants someone to love, someone to lean on, and someone to count on. This poem spoke to me as someone who was relieved; the author had found their other half. When you’re alone, it can feel like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders. There are obstacles you must face without the support of someone who loves you. However, when you find that someone that will help you along way, life seems that much easier. The simplicity of just knowing someone is there, even when you don’t need them, is a comforting feeling that one is privileged to have and must never take for granted. When you have someone to hold up a ceiling with; you’re pretty lucky. That's all I want from life.
