From earth to sea I’ve seen it all,
But none compete with angel’s fall,
Such grace and beauty is unfair,
In mundane life I do declare.

From eyes to smile it is clear,
She’s worth the while and sincere,
But to attempt upon a heart,
Well how could I ever start?

A man of dreams and simple wants,
I have no means or wealth to flaunt,
But hope enough to wish it true,
To toughen up and see it through,

So I ask now in awkward haste,
In quiet, shy, and nervous state,
Will you accept this only chance,
Or reject a great romance?
