Love

Emerging from the Shadows

I was hiding in the shadows,
Afraid to step out in the light.
But then I heard a voice within,
Telling me that it was alright.

So I took a step forward,
And then another and another.
And soon I found myself outside,
Feeling free like no other.

I had emerged from the shadows,
And found the courage to fly.
And now I know that anything is possible,
And the world is mine to try.

Love

The Promise of Tomorrow

Tomorrow is a promise,
A brand-new chance to start.
It's a clean slate for the taking,
An opportunity for a new heart.

For every missed opportunity,
And for every failure we've known,
Tomorrow offers a new life,
Wherein we can make our own.

So let's look forward to tomorrow,
And all the promise that it brings.
For it's a chance to make a difference,
And to make our hearts sing.

Love

The Proposal

On bended knee he took my hand
And with a shaky voice began
To speak the words I'd longed to hear
My heart beat fast, I couldn't clear

The tears that welled up in my eyes
As he asked me to be his bride
I nodded my head, unable to speak
My heart leapt with joy, I felt so weak

He slipped a ring upon my finger
A symbol of love that would linger
Forever and always, a promise made
To love and cherish, come what may

And so we stood there, hand in hand
Two hearts joined, now we're one brand
A future bright, a love so true
Together forever, me and you.

Love

A Proposal of Forever

I've loved you since the day we met,
And now I'm thinking it's time to set
My heart free from doubt and fear,
To finally pledge my love so dear.

I've waited for this moment long,
To take your hand and sing our song,
Of love that lasts through thick and thin,
Of memories made and joys within.

So here I am, on one knee,
With trembling palms and heart set free,
To ask that question, oh so true,
Will you marry me, and say "I do?"

I promise to always hold your hand,
To keep you safe and understand,
To cherish each and every day,
For you are my love in every way.

Together, we'll build a life so grand,
A home with love, and life that's planned,
A future filled with hopes and dreams,
And laughter that's as sweet as it seems.

So please, my love, do not delay,
Just give me your heart, and say "okay,"
Together we can conquer the world,
Our love, forever, it's unfurled.
