The Proposal

Twas the night after Christmas Two Thousand Ten Fulton Street was dazzling, pristine and a glow An evening we'll remember over and over again For it was a night as pure as the glistening snow Christmas music flittered through the air Bringing us peace, joy and sheer delight Our hearts beating to the rhythm of a snare Was that a twinkle I saw, a shimmering light You led me through the many winding trees A forest full of garland, angels and reindeer I felt light and free, as if floating on a breeze With you by my side, I would never know fear We stopped at one magnificent, fragrant fir You pointed to an ornament just within reach A diamond so stunning it sent everything a blur It was your gift to me, taking away my speech My heart danced and soared to heights anew You knelt down and asked me to be your wife Without hesitation I said YES to you Knowing we'll be together into eternal life.
