The Tiny Box Under the Tree

I could see the snow falling outside the window As we cuddled on Christmas right near the tree Drinking egg nog and watching our favorite shows on tv Anxiously I couldn't help but wonder What my sweetheart had wrapped up for me He must have read my thoughts Because suddenly he gave me a surprise gift And immediately got on his knees To see what my expression would be Nervously I stood in shock But couldn't wait to unwrap the gift That was a very tiny box To my amazement it immediately caught my eye Sparkling and shining from the opened box Stood a very large diamond ring Just as beautiful as it could be At that very same moment he then stood up And said, " Will you marry me?" Without a doubt thrilled and excited I immediately answered back with a yes We then smiled and intimately embraced one another Finally ending the night on Christmas was even more special And one of my best Christmas holidays ever Because I became newly engaged which was a gift like no other By: Donielle Smith
