The Proposal
Caring thoughts was conveyed as the two lay upon the quilt that sunny day
Brought tears of joy to the lady that he had come to adore
She packed a picnic lunch for them to enjoy
Laid out the old quilt that grandma had given her many years ago
The lunch was packed with turkey meat on rye bread
A bowl of cherries and some sliced cheese for the two to enjoy on this hot day
She told the man of her dreams that she wanted to build his self esteem
She dropped cherries one by one into the open mouth of the one she loved
She giggled and played with the man of her dreams and tickled skin around his neck
The joyful play that was displayed upon the quilt that day
Melted two souls together in a very special way
That day the God of the universe sewed the souls of two
As the two proposed their love upon the quilt that grandma sewed many years ago. ©2008

You remember the details thats nice… This was a great piece… I liked the line “Melted two souls together in a very special way”… RYC: Thanks I always appreciate your words of kind and the fact that my poems speak to you the way they do and I also thank you for sharing your work friend…
@Adamission12 - Thank you Adam … I think the two of us are enjoying each others work. I know I really enjoy reading all of your posts. As I had mentioned earlier I am trying to work on some poems that are a bit different than what I have posted in past … but so far I have been struggling. It never easy to make changes when you’re use to writing only a certain way. Thanks again for your reply and if you have any suggestions for improvement … I would like those as well … I am wanting to improve as I go forward.
