The Proposal

Twas the night after Christmas Two Thousand Ten
Fulton Street was dazzling, pristine and a glow
An evening we'll remember over and over again
For it was a night as pure as the glistening snow

Christmas music flittered through the air
Bringing us peace, joy and sheer delight
Our hearts beating to the rhythm of a snare
Was that a twinkle I saw, a shimmering light

You led me through the many winding trees
A forest full of garland, angels and reindeer
I felt light and free, as if floating on a breeze
With you by my side, I would never know fear

We stopped at one magnificent, fragrant fir
You pointed to an ornament just within reach
A diamond so stunning it sent everything a blur
It was your gift to me, taking away my speech

My heart danced and soared to heights anew
You knelt down and asked me to be your wife
Without hesitation I said YES to you
Knowing we'll be together into eternal life.
