United Poem by Catherine Novick

Candles and roses stand around while a cheerful couple dances, united.
They tire and sit down to rest, but the man falls to his knees.
He begs for marriage, and the woman is dumbfounded.
Though she is surprised, the woman nods 'yes' with a smiling face.

The starry night watches over them as the happy couple holds hands and walks away to kiss.
The stars shine like flashlights and sparkle like diamonds, while the candles and roses blink with astonishment.
