From Play to Proposal

Poem #270 • We could fly to the sunset like Wendy, Pan, and friends

They say a proposal starts with memories
but for you it’s with a song
They say a proposal starts with a story
but I knew you all along

You were there when I was a boy
the sandbox was our lot
Our parents ran after us
when we would make a fuss

The adventures may not be relatable
to those who met much later
But who can deny that one is dateable
when you can play pirates vs gator

It seemed we could fly to the sunset
like Wendy, Pan, and friends
for when we sprinkled fairy dust
we made cookies with powdered sugar
now we’re here
and I want to place this ring
on your finger
