She Said Yes

She said yes When I went down on my knees We were under beautiful trees On the other side a sea and its breeze I put my finger in my pocket I took out a diamond ring I heard the birds starting to sing I looked in her eyes I saw tears falling I looked in the skies I saw drops of rain coming I held her hand and smiled She held mine tight and cried With my face unmasked I asked; Will you make me the happiest man on earth? Will you make me a man amongst men? May I spend the rest of my life with thee, love, care and cheerish thee? My love, will you marry me? There was a long silence Just as I was starting to lose my patience, giving up and from the ground rising up She said yes, yes, yes. PoeticMonwa
