vandalayceo Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 Sunday will be 34 years from the night I proposed to my wife. I've never written a poem, but I did want to do something special because recently we had been reminiscing about that night.When she wakes up Sunday morning she'll find a dozen roses, and a card with this poem inside. I hope she likes it. December 20, 1975 There she sat, radiant as always It really hadn’t been that many days Still, I realized how much I’d missed her, My mind was made up and it couldn’t have been simpler. Falling in love with her had been effortless, It had been a fairy tale and she was truly my princess It was her I’d chosen I had to ask the question Was I nervous and anxious? After all, she was matchless, priceless and gorgeous If I was, I needn’t have been Her face lit up and immediately I knew deep down within Forever she’d be mine, not just my wife But my eternal love, my best friend for the rest of my life. Years have passed but one thing I know My feelings were right, and have continued to grow, Since that wonderful magical night, 34 years ago. 2 Link to comment

itsallgrand Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 It's hard to imagine her not loving that. It's wonderful. The moments you captured, the thought behind it, the fact that you obviously put the effort in to make sure the poem flows beautifully. Congrats to both of you, and thanks for sharing your debut poem here. It's a winner. 2 Link to comment

Dinka Posted December 18, 2009 Share Posted December 18, 2009 I just cried a little! (In a completely happy way, I mean) That was beautiful...if it can touch people who don't even know you and your wife, I can't imagine how your wife is going to feel when she reads it. Congratulations! What a beautiful romance. 1 Link to comment
