Play on words in the title. A love poem.
I watch as reddish orange rays light the tree line,
giving signs of that the day will be full of sunshine.
The songbirds awake with the dawn,begin to sing.
Nature reveals for us all to see an exquisite sunrise
but it is not nearly as lovely a sight as your eyes.

Nature produces some of the most awesome shows,
beautiful clear skies and some mind boggling snows,
even at her worse, she creates a spectacular thing
for even her deserts and lava have beauty of their own;
none near as mesmerizing as what you have shown.

Men have been known to search their whole life,
enduring numbing hardships and so much strife'
in search of diamonds, gold, or some other thing.
I found my true treasure and I always hold it near,
nothing on earths more valuable than you , my dear.

Having such riches make you poorer each long day
as you worry about who will try to take them away.
It makes your heart numb like a shot of morphine,
as you horde and try to keep these treasures so cold,
I would much rather your love and warm heart to hold.

I have traveled and seen many great wonders, true'
the Taj Mahal and Mt.Everest to name a just few.
A more wondrous sight I truly have never seen.
Made by man or nature, it does not mean a thing,
unlike you they can not, make my heart truly sing.

The fact that you want me makes me even more
than I could ever be alone or in this life was before.
You fill me with hope where none has ever been.
I am hoping that you will forever share in my life
and do me the honor of consenting to be my wife.
