A Scribble and A Dream (71) - The Wedding Proposal (I Do)

 
The Wedding Proposal
(I Do)

As a girl, I often dreamt
Of my prince coming
On a handsome white horse

Galloping, he'll come down
And he'll kneel as a knight
Looking up, saying the magic words,
"Marry me?"

As a lady, I often dreamt
Of my man coming
With a handful of roses

Bringing me in blindfold
Across the candle-lit aisle
With love songs in the air
Asking me, "Marry me?"

But now, I see
It's the first and the last
The start of the everlasting
From day one, "Will you be mine?"

Until today, "My heart never changes."
Ever so subtle and soft, "I still say I do, will you?"

No dances, no glitters
No fairy-tale fancies
Yet I will say, "I do."
All over and over again.
