The Proposal

Standing at the ocean’s edge

A slight breeze tugs at my hair

The sun shining oh so brightly

A saltiness to the air

 

Thoughts abound in my head

Emotions running high

Whipped away on wings of wind

A deep contented sigh

 

Your arms wrapped tight around me

Holding me to your heart so near

Protecting me with your love and strength

Vanquishing all of my fear

 

Today you asked me to be your wife

Now and forever more

My answer a resounding heartfelt yes

As we stood on that ocean shore

 

You are my love and my life

Eternal as the deep blue ocean

Droplets of sea spray on your cheeks

Like tears of intense emotion

 

As we look out at the horizon

As far as the eye can see

So will our love be immeasurable

When you and I become ‘we’

congratulations Fiona on your engagement even if it is belated.

Thank you Cassie but not based on fact. I was having a blank few days where i had no inspiration for writing so asked a friend to give me some ideas and he sent the words "sea spray like tears of emotion" and this is what i was inspired to write :-)
