Master Woo Myung Poem – Husband and Wife
A couple should be of one mind
in order to be husband and wife.
A couple should have no distance between them
in order for them to be husband and wife.
A couple should not try to possess each others’ minds.
A couple should not fight
or have any expectations of one another.
A couple should soothe each other of their scars.
A couple should not cry or laugh.
A couple should care for one another.
A couple should laugh in the good times and the bad.
A couple may get angry at each other,
but they should not own it.
A couple may fight, but it should not be a fight.
A couple may laugh, but it should not be laughter.
A couple may love, but it should not be love.
A couple that has truly departed from all of these
things is a true husband and wife.
-Woo Myung-
