The Perfect Proposal

The Perfect Proposal

For us girls it’s the day
We patiently await
When the perfect proposal
finally comes our way

Faceless as yet
We only picture the scene 
Our life long imaginings become
Realised dream

No flowers, candles, ambient air no
Lengthy speeches, fluted champagne
All believed to make the day fair no -
Only simple words spoken

At guileless pace
Direct to the heart 
Setting fireworks off
Across the sky they race

- Mummy when I’m a big man
Will you marry me? 
A tear in my eye
I squeeze his chubby thigh
