Will you marry me?

I was sitting at my desk

Pondering what to say

"Lord, please give me inspiration!"

Earnestly I prayed

With a pad in the left hand

And a pen in the right

I was a man on a mission

Needing a poem for tonight

They say roses a red

And violets they are blue

No--that's a pansy beginning

And that will never do

The sun shining bright in the day

The moon glowing in the night

No--that won't work either

It just doesn't sound right

You can see my dilemma

A poem to construct

Feeling broken and defeated

I wanted to give up

Then it came to me

In a vision like a dream

A picture of the woman

God has prepared specially for me

I chuckled to myself

How could I've not seen

With five simple words

This poem is complete

(name), will you marry me?
