Will You Marry Me?

To the lady who captivated my heart I knew I loved you from the start. 

With your humor and kindness you did intrigue but being so beautiful, you were out of my league.

What could I say that would make your heart sway? I didn't know until in a whisper, you told me so.

You said, "Shower me with roses and daffodils and bring me excitement and thrills, but never boredom for that only chills."

"Make me laugh and sing, and joy to my heart you will bring."

"When I cry, find out why rather than be just be another uncaring guy." 

"With compassion, be sensitive to how I feel and do your best to help me heal."

"Then love me true and I will be with you." 

With all the courage I could muster, knowing I would forever entrust her, I asked her to marry me.

I was gentle and did not press, and then softly she said, "Yes." 

I knew we were meant for each other and there would never be another, and together we would have the best life that could ever be.
