I treasure every meeting of our lips,
Our dreams: as two dew drops melding in eternal kiss
A lake of pure desire; with the depth of eternity
this life stretches before us
shore to unending shore
every grain of sand the first "I love you" of countless lovers
and the whisper of the breeze "Thee....thou.... and us"

The butterfly fluttering past with clumsy grace
like our love the wings allowing us to soar
This is the world created by all lovers.
A caw of a lonely bird reminds; that not all are found.
Tears slip down our cheeks as we remember the pain of before
Here and now, we live in triumph because He made us
I ask you to marry me and the question is all of these:

Will you be mine, my Anna?
Will you be you?
All you are and do is such a gift:
When you make me dinner you feed more than just my body;
and fill more than my belly.
When you say "I love you" it not only reverberates in my ear drums
When you walk beside me holding my hand I hear, I feel, I know
When you smile my quivering heart strings play rejoicing symphonies
When you are you; me? I am me.
For my Anna...
