They're on the beach,
in the sand,
he gets on one knee,
and reaches for her hand.
She wants to cry,
but holds back her tears;
This is the moment
she's dreamt about for years.
Her hearts skips a beat,
she focuses on his mouth;
Nothing else matters,
everything else fades out.
She's lost in this moment,
here she wants to stay,
she thinks about her father;
how he'll soon give her away.
A tear streams down his cheek,
slowly he smiles,
he's getting up the courage,
but this might take a while.
He decides that it's time,
and that he'll do his best,
he says "Will you marry me?"
and of course she says yes.
One year later,
they stand in the church,
saying their vows,
for better; for worst.
They both say "I do",
this is a day they'll both remember,
they walk down the isle,
and live happily ever after.
Nine months later,
to their surprise,
a beautiful baby boy,
with baby blue eyes.
The nose of his mother,
chin of his father,
the eyes of an angel
that tend to wander.
Nothing could take
this moment away
and to think this all happened
because of one sweet, summer day.

I like the idea of this poem, and it certainly to me is better than the one that won first place, but the stanzas seem a bit forced. Well, congrades for winning second place you must be most pleased.
