The Perfect Proposal

*The Perfect Proposal* The perfect proposal Just what would it be? In a fairy tale life or in an enchanted dream Three different scenarios I could see And let him choose the one that fits him to a T Popping the question over a picnic lunch in the Swiss Alps A checkered tablecloth, simple fruit, cheese and crackers, and a sparkling wine To be read poetry from the greatest of greats—Robert Frost or Shel Silverstein Another option would be at an abandoned zoo We could cuddle up in the lion’s den and count the stars in the open sky And then swim in the aquarium with the dolphins too at the first peak of sunrise And the final option of the perfect proposal would be standing at the pearly gates of heaven Heaven is where all our dreams come true anyways And heaven is where I am going to meet you after the next blood moon So I sit here below a star studded sky and I thank the Lord for delivering me I thank the Lord for second and third chances I thank the Lord for ETERNITY Gwendolen Rix 9-27-14
