He proposed
Jenny cogar 1953 (Webster)
He was young
so was I
we sat together
in a big stuffed chair
we hadn't dated very long
we were here
saying I love you
singing my song
Holding my hand
looking at me
asking me to be his wife
living with him
all of our life
how loved him
promises vowed
living together
laughing out loud
crying many tears
for he has been gone
many long years

he asked me to marry him
