The Engagement

Our engagement started early One Thursday back in may I had prepared my speech days before Anticipating today. Birds aware and singing The trees are in full bloom My lady is sleeping peacefully Only to be awoken soon. Breakfast made & waiting Candles glowing with an apple scent The sounds of Ray Charles' playing Everything's right, it's time. Just then her arms embrace me Around my torso from the back She kissed my neck, it tickled A grin appears I laugh A look of shock appeared As I dropped one knee Her eyes start forming tears As she concentrates on me With confidence I ask " Will you be my wife? Be with me now and in death, Living one complete life." "Yes!!" She said with joy Hugging and kissing me with delight. "I've been waiting for so long, Your timing was just right." I've written a little something A verse for you to hear. This will be my vow to you So relax, get comfortable And lend me your ears. You're the air that I breathe, and the glow in my soul. You're everything I've envisioned, there is nothing I want more. With every passing day, and every year that you are mine. My love for you will grow infinite, my wife until and past the end of time. I respect everything you stand for, I'll back you when times get rough. The bond we share is unbreakable, so yes!! Love is enough.... Jared Pickett 9/01/09 Asavvy1
