Will You Marry Me?

I'll love you all my life.
There's no part way,
no holding back
Once we are man and wife.



When the choice is made,
I will swim In a far different sea,
The shores of which are bright green hills
Raised up for you and me.



Our love is like a mountainside
Awash in lovely flowers:
It is our home, our solid rock,
Where all bright things are ours.



And though of need we often must
Spend our days apart,
Our love will always be with us,
Held within the heart.



I feel it now, so strong and free,
So part of every breath
That it must live--I swear it will!--
Even after death.
