The trees swayed seemingly encouraging
The coward in me slowly retreating
Mustered the courage to croak the words
Will you marry me my love?
Birds chirped melodiously afterwards
Even the sitting white little dove
Our eyes met for a split second
You nodded and teardrops filled
Ecstasy was an understatement
The ring was testament to my faith
Our hearts start to palpitate
Because you’ve found your lifetime mate
Epilogue:
I was inspired to write this poem when I saw a couple taking wedding photos in the picturesque botanic gardens. The expressions on their faces bore pure happiness; they looked as if they were in their own world, immersed in the company of each other. I believe that love is one of the ultimate joys of the world. The joy of finding your partner for life must surely be one of extreme ecstasy. The couple was holding their hands, embracing in the photos and gazing in each other eyes oblivious to the stares of the park-goers. They had eyes only for each other.
After that, I thought about how the guy must have felt when he was proposing to her. Even the toughest guys have trouble proposing to the woman of their dreams. This poem was written to express the process of proposing. It was most certainly nerve-wrecking.
I wish the couple all the best in their marriage life and may their love flow like a waterfall meandering through the rocks which may be the trials and tribulations they face together.
