Tom J. Mariani - A Single Rose

She wants a poem
Read to her by candlelight
While she sits at a small table
This would be sheer delight

She would like live music too
In the background I suppose
A stark white tablecloth with
A single rose

Don't forget the wine
A white wine '03 or '02
Slightly chilled
Will do

This should be a special poem
One she could say is mine
If she only knew a poet
Regardless of the rhyme

Who will read it to her
Does he need special clothes
Or just a sincere voice and a wine glass
To go with the single rose

Tom J. Mariani
