Anniversary Thoughts

[kiz_paws]

It was just a little diamond
more than he could afford
but he wanted something
that would last forever

Holding hands they walked
and laughed amongst
the crackling Fall leaves
"I wonder if Now is the moment", he thought

They made their way
to The Bench ...
an old familiar place ...
their place

Shyly he took her hand
covered it with his own
cleared his throat
and began

The ring was perfect
her smile was perfect
their kiss was perfect
their tomorrows would be perfect

*************************

A few years have passed
newlyweds they're not
their vows have been tested
but True Love lasts forever


Dedicated to my own dear "Mr.Paws" for our anniversary tomorrow.
Its not profound, but the words are true.

Love always

Oh Kizzoo, that is so cute. I think Mr Paws is very lucky to have you, because to me, you are the little diamond.

Not profound? True, much as deep, abiding love is not profound!

Nothing you've ever posted here has been without at least a smidgen of love. May that deep well continue to nourish you and all those around or in contact with you!!!

aww kizzie! all the best!

[Lokasenna]

That's really romantic - I'm sure he'll love it!

[Mr. Bergstrom]

Simple but heartwarming. I liked how it wasn't too sentimental.

'Holding hands they walked
and laughed amongst
the crackling Fall leaves
"I wonder if Now is the moment", he thought'

My favourite stanza, I thought that the assonance prominent at the end of the lines worked well. 'crackling fall leaves' is a comforting image as well.

'They made their way
to The Bench ...
an old familiar place ...
their place'

I liked the sense of nostalgia here, I can relate to this in many different ways.

'Shyly he took her hand
covered it with his own'

I don't know why but I liked these lines, just like your choice of words in 'covered it with his own'.

Anyway nice poem, I did think it was going to have something of a downbeat ending though. The last stanza lead me to believe this but the last line proved otherwise.
