A Wonderful Proposal

It was early in the morning

When I was

  suddenly woken up,  with the sound of a loud knock  

still feeling half asleep

I stumbled out of bed as I got up to answer the door

  when I opened it

I got a surprise

Because, there you were

standing, with your hands held in the air

holding a child’s bucket and spade

you winked at me with a smile

and said

guess where we are going

I shrieked in delight and shouted the beach

you  shook your head and said no

and then you handed me the bucket and spade

and asked me to follow you into the garden

as I followed you, you pointed to a place

where you ask me if I could dig it up

although I was puzzled by what was going on

I still carried out what you had asked me to do

and   so I begun to dig

and as I removed the soil

 I discovered a small   box,

I picked it up and opened it

 Inside, laid a beautiful diamond ring

I went very quiet

,for I was lost for words

 gently, you placed your hand on my face and kissed my lips

and then you took my hand and ask me if I would marry you

 tears of joy ran down my cheeks

as I said yes

what a wonderful way to propose
