Line Gauthier Poet Free verse

History In the Making

Do you remember, dear, we were young
It was dusk and we’d gone horseback riding
Stopped to sip riesling wine
Nibble grapes and cheese

With much passion you unfurled your intentions
Detailed how you saw the future together
Getting married, building a house
And then maybe children to call our own

You asked me to consider it
I said there was nothing to think about
So it was that with a kiss we sealed the deal 
There was no greater honour in my heart

And on the outside I know I glowed
For we both knew we were creating history
