Hear the chorus of nature sing melodies so soft and simple of word,
With nature’s whisper more is said than most in a lifetime has heard,
Our Mother Nature can pull a tree from her surface as if it is a weed,
It’s through her that each and everyone of us has a relationship of need,
And here the chorus of nature sings melodies so soft and tender sweet,
When nature whispers it may be more than a whisper if shown complete,
Tonight Mother Nature whispered into the air in the form of a soft breeze,
Our need this night was perfection, for us she softly whispered in the trees,
A tender breeze set the mood for surrender this night so long ago,
Fear was unknown as the night brought perfection for us to know,
Creatures shared the night as echoes of crickets filled the night air,
A kiss delivered by your lips had to come from heaven or near there,
As my heart prepared for the moment to ask you I kissed you more,
So many times my lips parted to say “will you” to fade as I did before,
I place my lips upon your neck as I note your parted lips in the mirror,
So very sure of my words, these were words to be never said in error,
Everything was in motion the moment I decided to ask as I laid in wait,
Love has built so incredibly large in my heart I know that I won’t hesitate,
You’ve asked a number of times “what?” as if you expect me to speak,
And speak I will when the moment is correct and I haven’t grown weak,
To make love with you in the cool Texas air brings pleasure ill described,
Once the night moved forward this was an action of mine to not be denied,
The moment has fallen upon us as we stand on the porch to say goodnight,
“Will you marry me?” Your “yes” has sent me to heaven on a love flight,
I remember in 1965 as I moved away to Dallas I thought of you all the way,
As always I stayed awake as I drove by imagining our future wedding day,
From my hotel room I went to bed and I imaged you had run off with me,
For so many years I dreamed of this and now it will soon come to be.
