However Love
The bamboo patch was their backdrop,
He swore he adored her,
She was a bit skeptical,
However,
She let him kiss her hand,
The flowers were fresh and perfumed,
Tied in a pretty bouquet,
She didn't expect this gift,
He thought she deserved it,
Sweetly sang birds,
In the plum blossom.

    Ahh so sweet. Reminded me of the courtship times... after 12 years of living together I don't even think about it much anymore... Lovely poem.
