THE STORY OF OUR LIVES
THE STORY OF OUR LIVES
Original Poetry Written By

Our story might have just begun
But it won’t have a tragic end
Because when I first saw you
I knew I’d met my new best friend
It’s only the second chapter
In this story of our life
You told me on our first date
That I would become your wife
Can’t believe it’s one year later
And you’ve gotten down on bended knee
Said, “It would be an honor,
If you would marry me”
We’re surrounded by friends and family
As we stand before them and say I do
Now our book will become a series
About an endless love that is so true
