This ring alone,
Is naught but gold.
All by itself,
It's hard and cold.

Even the diamond,
On it set,
Can't give it warmth.
But dear don't fret.

This ring I give,
To you from me,
Is more than that.
I hope you see.

The gold no longer,
Simply ore,
It holds my soul,
within it's core.

The diamond no longer
A simple stone.
It holds the love,
which for you has grown.

When you place this ring
Upon your hand,
Forever more,
I am your man.

Wow Joe!!

If this doesn't make her say 'yes' I don't know what will.  I am enjoying your words more and more each time I read them.  Keep up the great work.

Take care.........Sue

Wow, how could any girl ever say no to something that shows as much love as this does.  She is a lucky lady indeed.
