The Proposal ... (a Ghazal poem)

The Proposal ... (a Ghazal poem)

You mean the world to me; you fill my life with joy.
You make me sing with glee; you fill my life with joy.

You have such beauty with soft skin and golden hair.
You are so fair and free; you fill my life with joy.

Let’s take the final step and say our wedding vows.
I’m sure you will agree; you fill my life with joy.

We will invite all of our friends and family.
Then everyone can see; you fill my life with joy.

If you wish, our wedding can be in this garden.
Hang ribbons in the tree; you fill my life with joy.

We can hope to have a child who will look like you.
Our two will become three; you fill my life with joy.

I promise that we will be happy forever.
Please Bella, hear my plea; you fill my life with joy.
