Saw Her From Across The Room Poem by Kristi Wilkinson

Saw her from across the room,
I knew I had to make this girl mine.
I was to scared to talk to her,
Though I already held her deep inside.

Her radiated beauty,
Long legs, and hair.
My friend tempted me
To talk to her on a dare.

What would I say not knowing
If I could get words passed my tongue,
I stammered for a while,
I’m sure she thought I was dumb.

After a few awkward moments came,
She giggled and said
I like you, what is your name?

We talked for hours,
Being taken completely by surprise.
I knew how special this girl was,
Though she was not a prize.

We went out on a lot of dates,
Got to know each other and her kids,
Wondering the whole time
Before her, what I did

Now I can’t remember
a time she was not there,
She is so supportive
For her, my soul I would bare.

Wanting to ask her to marry me,
Even taking myself by surprise,
Will she say yes,
I was feeling so sick inside.

Took a deep breathe
And an uncomfortable sigh,
I popped the question,
She looked in my eyes.

What would I do without you,
She whispered in my ear
You are the only one for me,
I started to tear.

I grabbed her,
Holding her tight.
She is definitely
An angel in disguise.

Created a family
Her, the kids and I.
Soon we will marry
And I will have a wife
