It still overwhelms me <br />As I remember that day <br />He called to meet for coffee <br />Something he wanted to say <br /> <br />He stood like a gentleman <br />And sweetly took my hand <br />Simply stating without any falter <br />I would like to marry your daughter <br /> <br />She is all I ever wanted <br />She is the perfect girl <br />Seven years of such bliss <br />It's time to make a promise <br /> <br />I want her to share my life <br />I want her to be my wife <br />I will take care of her <br />I absolutely adore her <br /> <br />It really was a Good Friday <br />And still she had no clue <br />As they walked the gardens <br />And of what he was about to do <br /> <br />She came across the table <br />Set for two under the tree <br />And that was the moment <br />He got down upon one knee <br /> <br />Words cannot describe <br />The grateful heart in me <br />I pray their love remains <br />And grows for all eternity <br /> <br />10.04.2009 - My baby girl got engaged :) <br />(Dedicated to my son to be... finally - I will have a son!)<br /><br />Tia Maria<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-perfect-proposal/
