An Unexpected Surprise

As I get ready for Feb 14th, I’m 
transported back in time when
my love took me to a lovely spot.
It was a beautiful meadow, he
blind folded me and took me down
a path. We stopped and he took
off the blindfolds.
I couldn’t believe my eyes, I saw
a lovely blanket.
With a picnic basket, inside it had
assorted cheeses ,crackers, slices 
of ham and turkey.
Then I saw strawberries, and grapes.
A cold bottle of champagne and flower 
petals and chocolate kisses sprinkled
throughout the blanket.
That was the happiest day of my life. 
It was Valentines’ Day, and the same
day he asked me to be his wife.
