A Walmart Moment

At the end of the day
that started with a question
and an answer from your lips

A special moment,
shared under the fluorescent lights
of the Wal-mart, by the jewelry counter
a moment of spontaneity, doing it right
asking the clerk to back away
after the selection made
not caring who saw

On my knee at ten minutes
before midnight,
asking again, this time
with a diamond ring
to share my life
and be my wife
