As I look into your eyes --
Two gems of sapphire blue,
I see not just their beauty,
But your soul which shines right through...
I feel I've known you always,
Although our friendship's new...
The way that life flows through your smile
And the different things you do...

It's not just your appearance
That makes me think of you...
Although your beauty is enough
To keep my eyes like glue...
Of so much more importance
Is your attitude --
The sweetest disposition --
The furthest thing from rude...

I don't flatter --
That's not my way...
You can trust me
And all I've got to say...

I hope we don't lose contact
When this day is done --
You are a wonderful person --
So lively and so fun...
My question to you then,
One posed in honesty:
What would you say if I asked you:
"Will you go out with me?"

I know no one is to blame
In time youll feel strength when you call my name
I know Ill never hold you again
And I know Ill never be the same

Oh, this is precious Mark! What a wonderful offering of one's heart to another. I think this should find it's way into many a young courting couple's hands. Very much enjoyed!  

Best wishes,
/Kit

Mark,
    A letter of beauty from a gentleman to a lady. What woman could say "no"? This would make Mr. Richard Collier green with envy!!

Oh....Yes....

I'll go out with you
if you'd accompany me
and don't forget your heart too....

Wonderful .....and quite lovely.... and I hope you had the loveliest time going out with her.....

Thank you

WOW.  If I only had this type of reaction back then!  


JM:  Thank you, madam...

Sandra:  ;->

Kit:  Thank you, kindly...  I would be flattered if this indeed found its way to even one young courting couple.

Regina:  The date, unfortunately, never happened, but the event was memorable since it took place on the film set of "Wayne's World", the movie...

Elise:  Thank you very much...  I guess not every lady is as sensitive to a poet's heart as the ladies in this forum...

Kay:  ...would have been nice, perhaps, but we'll never know...

Connie:  I had hoped so too...

Ethan:  Thanks...  it came from an honest place.

MEM:  Music to my heart (without which I never leave home, by the way).  Thank you so much.  I enjoyed the time we were on the set...

James:  Unfortunately, not many people left out there who remain true to their word...

Mark
This was so very romantic and the lovely lady in question would be crazy not to say "YES".   Take care.....Sue
