The Most Serious Question Poem by Bill Grace

The Most Serious Question

The most cowardly thing was not in uniform but years before
When loveing Sandy Nieman and not understanding that I loved her
I asked her to marry me without putting weight on the fearful question
Much as the injured might put their weight on a crutch to spare a foot
I guarded feelings and used jest as crutch
For fear she would say yes or no or perhaps maybe
To the most serious question of my life.
