A ripe and robust woman she, who waltzed with splendid gait
much admiration she received from early morn till late.
So many men with selfish thoughts would woo her with smooth words,
already stale from overuse, so often they'd been heard.
Attentions such as these she found, repulsive to the core
and with her steady gaze they knew, their words she did abhor.
She always found a sharp reply, from shallow words she cringed,
to leave them silent, open-mouthed, with egos quite unhinged.
Until one day she heard a voice, most resonant and sweet,
his slow and silky words she knew would make her life complete.
A shiver danced right down her spine for love had come her way
his love as solid as a rock and fresh as a bouquet.
And on the day that they were wed the town met in the square
to see the marriage of this girl with whom none could compare.
And with a shaky voice of love, she whispered "Yes I do"
confetti scattered over them, as life did start anew.
