Thank You

You offered me everything

We left Perth Monday afternoon

On a trip that changed my life,

In a truck stop out of Carnarvon

You asked me to be your wife.

***

It was early Wednesday morning

Three am to be correct,

And with the love I felt for you

Of course I will accept.

***

I’ve never known such happiness

I’ve never known such joy,

Especially when you said you to me

You’d also like a boy.

***

In one night you have offered me

Two of my biggest dreams,

A happy marriage and children

You’ll give me both it seems.

***

For this I’d like to thank you

For this I’d like to say,

My love for you is something

That grows stronger every day.

About the Creator

Colleen Millsteed

My first love is poetry — it’s like a desperate need to write, to free up space in my mind, to escape the constant noise in my head. Most of the time the poems write themselves — I’m just the conduit holding the metaphorical pen.
