What Love Is Meant To Be

 Aris and Andrew 

Start this adventure six years past

on the day that they both met

For on that day, he put away

all thought of fear or regret

 

He’d held this dream from the minute

of the day they'd become friends

That they would be, held happily

in a marriage that never ends

 

Then just at five fifty seven

he had knelt down upon the green

As all around, a hushed sighed sound

fell across the uncommon scene

 

It had been six years to the day

from that beautiful afternoon

As there he knelt, hoping she felt

as he had 'neath the harvest moon

 

 Only after risking his heart

in hopes that only love can bring

There on the sod, in front of God

gave her his hand clasping the ring

 

To say I was moved is surely

the understatement of the year

For it struck me, as it had she

as both our hearts then shed a tear

 

He had been planning it for months

a treasure for us all to see

And each one knew, so sweet the view

 this is what love is meant to be

heart and love inspire all. A truly moving moment for young and old alike. In your telling of the story Tate I can see why you gave him your permission. I think both of them are making a lifelong choice. Bravo.

What a beautiful story, and told in the voice that only you can write into existence. Things like this give me hope for humanity; hope that true love is still a tangible thing, and not just something pretty to write about. It also give me hope (and awe) that some of the "old ways" have not been lost to modern society; the fact that he actually asked you for her hand in marriage is beautiful.

Great writing, Tate, and congratulations; looks like your daughter found a good one :)

What thrilling and romantic information in your Author's Note. Your daughter's more than a lucky, lucky girl, plus don't doubt Andrew feels over the moon to have such a fantastic and beautiful fiancee.

Such a wonderfully happy occasion deserves a special poem, Tate.. you've done them proud. And what a handsome and lovely couple Aris and Andrew are.. the sun seems to be shining from inside out, makes me smile ear to ear and back. Many congrats to both of them.

'.. this is what love is meant to be ..'
