Two Hearts

On bended knee, with trembling hands

And heart that races like wild bands,

I offer up my love so true,

And all my hopes and dreams to you.

With ring in hand, a precious thing,

I ask you, will you wear this ring?

And will you be my love for life,

My partner, friend, and cherished wife?

The world around us fades away,

As I wait for the words you'll say.

Will you accept this gift from me,

And join your heart with mine to be?

With eyes that shine and lips so soft,

You answer with a single nod.

And as I slide the ring on your hand,

I know that I'm a lucky man.

For in your eyes, I see the light

That shines so bright and burns so right.

And in your heart, I find the peace

That makes my soul forever free.

So on this day, I give to you

My heart, my soul, my love so true.

And I promise that until the end,

I'll be your lover, partner, and friend.

To those who read these lines of verse, I hope my words do not disperse Before they reach your waiting eyes, And offer up a sweet surprise. May these words stir your heart and soul, And make you feel that love is whole.
