There was no better time than this <br />To share one sweet embrace <br />And close in gently for that kiss <br />They both knew must take place. <br />That's why they danced that very night, <br />Lost in each other's eyes, <br />Forwards, backwards and left and right... <br />Within Love's Paradise! <br />When they sat down, they sipped their wine, <br />The best they'd ever known. <br />That night, each other's Valentine, <br />The second love was shown. <br />He held her hand quite tenderly <br />And softly spoke her name, <br />As if this love was meant to be, <br />With both their hearts aflame... <br />He offered her a diamond ring <br />If she would be his wife... <br />To him, this girl meant everything, <br />The reason for his life! <br />When she said yes, he kissed her lips... <br />He danced with her again... <br />Now tingling to his fingertips, <br />The happiest of men! <br />He took her home, the good news spread, <br />She told her Mum and Dad... <br />She prayed before she went to bed <br />And even God was glad... <br />She dreamt of when she'd be a bride! <br />The Wedding Day went well... <br />So many happy people cried, <br />All captive to Love's spell...<br /><br />Denis Martindale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/the-happy-couple-3/
