The Ring that Glows

Diamonds are everywhere, all different colors and cuts,

These beautiful jewels are truly striking, making me feel like I’m in a fantasy; I’m so overwhelmed I’ll go nuts.

Then “The One” catches my attention like the dazzling effect of the Fourth of July sky,

Perfect in every single possible way it captured the beauty I only dreamed of, so stunning I think I might start to cry.

Sparkling gracefully upon the red velvety surface,

All the rare diamonds and jewelry will show some purpose.

Tenderly fingering the delicate and precious stone,

Soon it will represent that I won’t ever be alone.

The fluorescent lights all around shine,

He will eventually be all mine.
