The Happy Couple Poem by Denis Martindale

There was no better time than this
To share one sweet embrace
And close in gently for that kiss
They both knew must take place.
That's why they danced that very night,
Lost in each other's eyes,
Forwards, backwards and left and right...
Within Love's Paradise!
When they sat down, they sipped their wine,
The best they'd ever known.
That night, each other's Valentine,
The second love was shown.
He held her hand quite tenderly
And softly spoke her name,
As if this love was meant to be,
With both their hearts aflame...
He offered her a diamond ring
If she would be his wife...
To him, this girl meant everything,
The reason for his life!
When she said yes, he kissed her lips...
He danced with her again...
Now tingling to his fingertips,
The happiest of men!
He took her home, the good news spread,
She told her Mum and Dad...
She prayed before she went to bed
And even God was glad...
She dreamt of when she'd be a bride!
The Wedding Day went well...
So many happy people cried,
All captive to Love's spell...
