Poem - My first Attempt

I was speaking with one of my well wisher few days back in Facebook. She told me that I am deviating a lot these days from my usual styles of writing. Even I felt that and wanted to try something different. Believe me guys, it took me one full day 2 think what to write, one hour to select a theme and 5 hours to write and modify it as a poem. So please bear with me and read this pathetic attempt.

THE MAN AND HIS WIFE

The man shall leave his father's house
And cleave unto his wife
Loving her with the greatest love
Laying down his own life
He shall nourish her and cherish her
And she shall give him reverence
Both submitted in the fear of God
Rendering due benevolence
They shall not be two, but shall be one
In body, soul and spirit
Defrauding not and keeping faith
Let none interfere with it
For the man's desire shall be for her
His wife shall be by his side
And he shall live for her all their days
As Nature does with the pride.

I really wonder what made me write this!!

With Love,

Hey girlie, I did find the last two posts of yours kinda' different... But this poem is really good! You do do different things and well, too. I had a bit of a trouble understanding, but the last few lines were really nice! :)
Good going, girl!! :)

Usually most of the stories/poem we listen to are the other way round. You were not kidding when you said you wanted to do something different :).

Nice poem. Had some issues with understanding the Shakespearean language though. Was never good with it, even in school.
