Proposal Poem by Shirley Harrison

Proposal

I have
a diamond eternity ring

but I've lost one of its diamonds

my husband asked me once

did I want to have the diamond replaced?

but I don't think I would

because every time I look down at it

on my now ageing hand
It reminds me that...

things don't have to be perfect
not even my marriage.
