Will You Be Mine

The night, was such a Treasure Trove night!
Their eyes were sparkling, in the light!

Even though, they were all alone,
they spoke in a soft, melodic tone.

A single red rose, to pledge his devotion.
She gives her, hearts-key, to reflect his emotion!

A soft blue-velvet box, he puts in her palm.
Although she's excited, she tries to stay calm!

She opens it slowly, a brilliant diamond's inside,
he caresses her warmly, and speaks , slowly with pride!

"If you'll be my wife, I will truely be blessed"!
She throws her arms round him, and whispers, Yes, darling, Yes!
